Hillary Clinton was all sarcasm on The Tonight Show, where she told Jimmy Fallon that Donald Trump's candidacy is "one of the great things about this country."

"If you're over 35, and you're eligible as an American citizen, then you can actually run for president," she marveled, adding, "[Trump is] making the most of it. I'm having a good time watching it."

But it didn't end there: "Imagine," Clinton went on, "that you're in the Kremlin and somebody comes rushing in and says, 'Oh my gosh, did you hear what President Trump said today?'" Clinton wondered aloud if President Trump, then, "might actually cause everybody else to just calm down because they wouldn't want it to get too excitable. It could be good, I'm not sure. I love scenarios."
