U.S. President Donald Trump said he had separately warned both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping that he would bomb their respective capitals if either of them invaded their neighbors, newly released audio broadcast by CNN shows.
The U.S. president was recorded speaking at a private fundraiser in 2024 about his conversations with Putin and Xi.
"With Putin I said, 'If you go into Ukraine, I'm gonna bomb the s*** out of Moscow,'" Trump is heard saying, recounting his version of their conversation. He also said with Xi he also threatened to "bomb the s*** out of Beijing" if it invaded Taiwan, the self-governing island that China claims as its own. When contacted for comment, the White House told Newsweek in a statement that "as President Trump has said time and again, Russia never dared invade Ukraine when he was in office. It happened only when Biden was in office."

Just so long as he didn’t grab them by their kitties.
That’s good! 😆
Don’t mess with Donald!
Or the IUSA!
Trump told that story at almost every rally, especially during the primary. NOW it’s news? These people are so phoney
Of course, they may have an equivalent response in mind - and we need to be ready - not just our military, but also our first responders and civilian population
“Don’t mess with Donald!”
Unless you have the goods on him with the Epstein list.
USA-FRANCE and the neocon trolls here “ils ont un orgasme” upon seeing such headlines.
It’s also part of the negotiations process.
So, something he said at a private fundraiser when he was not president.
Probably taken out of context.
There is no anti-Trumper who has even the slightest understanding of why he doesn’t like Trump.
(Except for the child traffickers, the communists, the globalists and other terrorists.)
He talks big. It’s only because he can back it up. His enemies have to take him seriously. Those bunker busters did it.
Time to revive our civil defense strategy; fallout shelters and all. Without the golden dome we are sitting ducks.
I wonder in the age of AI if this is true.
Bombing Moscow or Peking is a good way that the world would be a nuclear war. It’s hard to imagine we could do that and not cause that response.
But that aside, whether this is true or not is the actual problem. Just yesterday someone was sending AI Marco Rubio fake messages to other governments. I think we’re entering a phase we’re just because we hear a recording of someone saying something, it pretty much has no meaning without some elaborate confirmation. Maybe that’s the point of AI
I think this is a natural born braggart telling a story.
“newly released audio broadcast by cnn shows”
“A series of audio tapes from fundraisers for then-candidate Trump in New York and Florida last year were obtained by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf, authors of the new book 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America. The tapes were aired Tuesday night by CNN.”
Uh-huh. Riiiiiiiiiiight.
Clearly the true pandemic has affected many in the media and some here at FR. This smacks of a cnn death throe.
I have not seen/heard DJT say any such thing and in this AI environment would now expect “audio” to be released of POTUS ordering the Epstein files to be deceptively edited.
