Wednesday, July 9, 2025 - 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.
