that's because there's no letter for the sound "uh" in Russian. "a" is pronounced "ah," which is as close as they can get to Trump.

It translates the way I want it to, though, in Google translate. I took liberties with the language.

In reality, the last word really means "toast," as in raising glasses, but I don't care. I used it because it translates the way I want in Google Translate.

What we call toast is "fried bread" or жареный хлеб in Russian. Too long and fried, not toasted. So, I went for the sound, instead. I took liberties.
