Russian interference and then get a Czar...come on, another word would fit just fine. It just sounds wrong at this time in history, should we all speak Russian now!

5. That's the (stupid) language that has long been in use for such honchos.

Remember "drug czar"? (emphasis added):

Drug czar is an informal name for the person who directs drug-control policies in various areas. The term follows the informal use of the term czar in U.S. politics. The 'drug czar' title first appeared in a 1982 news story by United Press International that reported that, "[United States] Senators ... voted 62–34 to establish a 'drug czar' who would have overall responsibility for U.S. drug policy."[1] Since then, several ad hoc executive positions established in both the United States and United Kingdom have subsequently been referred to in this manner

that it has some factual basis rather than just guessing.

What he said was quite different from what you posted.

has no idea where the children are.
