USA Leader, Donald Trump told donors last year that he tried to stop Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine by threatening to “bomb the sh*t out of Moscow,” according to audio recordings obtained by CNN.

 

 

“With Putin I said, ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the sh*t out of Moscow. I have no choice,’” Trump said at a 2024 fundraiser. “He goes, ‘I don’t believe you.’ But he believed me 10%.”

 

 

 

 

He report further stated that Trump also claimed he gave a similar warning to Chinese President Xi Jinping about invading Taiwan, telling him the U.S. would bomb Beijing in response. “He thought I was crazy,” Trump said of Xi. “But we never had a problem.”

 

 

 

These remarks were captured on tapes from private fundraisers in New York and Florida, revealing how Trump pitched his aggressive foreign policy and hardline views to wealthy supporters. The audio, detailed in the new book 2024, has not been broadcast before. The Trump campaign declined to comment.

 

 

 

 

 

At these events, Trump argued that if he were president instead of Joe Biden, there wouldn’t be wars in Ukraine or Gaza—an argument he continues to make while criticizing Putin for resisting a peace deal. “I’m not happy with Putin,” he said during a Cabinet meeting. “I’m very unhappy with them. They’re throwing a lot of bullsh*t.”

 

 

 

Trump also used the fundraisers to press donors for larger contributions, sometimes boasting about convincing billionaires to dramatically raise their offers. At one event, he recounted how a donor who initially promised $1 million for a lunch ended up giving $25 million. “It’s crazy,” Trump said. “But you have to have the courage to ask.”

 

 

 

Beyond foreign policy, Trump told the gatherings he wanted to deport student protesters, especially those demonstrating in support of Palestinians on college campuses. “Any student that protests, I would throw them out of the country,” he said. “That will stop it.”

 

 

 

 

When a donor warned that these protesters could one day run the country, Trump pushed for more support. “If you get me elected, we will set that movement back 25 to 30 years,” he said.

 

 

 

He also argued Republicans faced a built-in disadvantage because, as he put it, “the welfare people will always vote for Democrats,” and called on his “Jewish friends” to help shift support to the GOP.

 

 

 

The recordings show Trump behind closed doors, unfiltered, making the case that only he could confront adversaries abroad—and crack down on opponents at home.
