Do you think Donald Trump will propose Cyrillic become the official alphabet of the United States?

On edit- Russian is the language. Cyrillic is the alphabet for purists.

1. Cyrillic is not a language.

It is the alphabet that Russian is written in.

3. No, because Cyrillic is an alphabet, not a language. Would DT propose that the

US adopt the Russian language and Cyrillic alphabet? No, because he would also have to learn it, and he knows that would be impossible for him.

4. Cyrillic is an alphabet, not a language.

7. I took a year of Russian in 1966-67.

I don't remember much of anything except the Cyrillic alphabet and a few words and phrases.

I can still rattle off the alphabet from memory and can kind of phonetically read some Russian words, if they don't have too many hard or soft signs in them (called ъ = tvyordi znak = твёрдый знак and Ь = myagki znak = мягкий знак, respectively).

Otherwise I am useless in Russian.

BTW, a correction to your post. You have the щ as 'shsh'. That should be 'shch', letter is pronounced 'shcha' for those interested.

5. Я сомневаюсь в этом. (I doubt it.)

But I'm getting used to using Google Translate, just in case.
