We would be speaking Japanese right now.
We’d all be goosestepping around in the latest offerings from Hugo Boss.
Clearly he wouldn’t engage in the firebombing of Dresden or nuclear use in Hiroshima. The US could never have won a war with the leadership of President Pipsqueak. But our enemies would have loved him.

From about August 1945, yes.
“I support a full bombing campaign against Germany and Japan ... as long as there are absolutely no civilian casualties.”
“And we must be careful not to demonize or discriminate against the German or Japanese people.”

Thank God we didn’t allow America-hating foreigners to become President in those days.
At least those of us who would live west of the Rockies. Those East of them would be speaking German
