Trump said he threatened to bomb Moscow if Putin attacked Ukraine, 2024 fundraiser tapes show
CNN ^ | July 8, 2025 | Adam Cancryn

Donald Trump told a private gathering of donors last year that he once sought to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from attacking Ukraine by threatening to “bomb the sh*t out of Moscow” in retaliation, according to audio provided to CNN.

“With Putin I said, ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the sh*t out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice,’” Trump said during one 2024 fundraiser, according to the audio. “And then [Putin] goes, like, ‘I don’t believe you.’ But he believed me 10%.”

The remarks, which came as Trump made his case for a second term, were among those captured in a series of audio tapes of 2024 fundraisers in New York and Florida, which were later obtained by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf, who detailed some of the exchanges in their new book, “2024.” The audio has not previously been aired. The Trump campaign declined to comment on the content of the tapes.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov commented on Wednesday on a report alleging that United States President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Russia in the past, stating that it is unclear whether it is fake and explaining that “often there are many more fakes than true information.”

Obama to Medvedev: Tell Putin after my re-election I can be more flexible to him.

Trump to Putin: If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the sh*t out of Moscow.

Dim media: Trump's the Russian puppet!!!!

“ Obama to Medvedev: Tell Putin after my re-election I can be more flexible to him. ”
Putin is obviously Obama’s puppet.
So is the EU and UK.

Over years, the same statements of his actions during his presidency?

Your claim is dismissive of him, of the people he is addressing, of maturity and everything, him and his world is not that childish.
