I'm hoping that he'll be president for life, living in luxury while his people have their food and other necessities rationed. I'm hoping he succeeds at driving businesses out of his country, and obliterating productivity. I'm hoping he succeeds in managing to turn an oil-rich country into a poverty-stricken hellhole with the same economic ideas and hostility toward capitalism that the "progressives" are pushing in our own country.

Damn straight I hope he fails. Miserably. With any luck, run out his country on a rail.
