Hopefully everyone here knows that the Babylon Bee is not an actual news site -- it's a joke site similar to the Onion, but with a more right wing perspective.

'At Least Hillary Didn't Win,' Says Lone Survivor Of Nuclear Apocalypse

PLANO, TX—The lone survivor of the recent nuclear apocalypse triggered by Donald Trump’s saber rattling over North Korea and other hostile foreign powers reportedly told no one in particular that he was at least happy that Hillary Clinton didn’t win the 2016 election, sources confirmed Friday.

Sitting on a pile of smoldering rubble while taking potshots at mutated bloatflies swarming nearby, the last member of humanity confirmed his satisfaction at making sure Clinton wasn’t elected.
