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.
Taco Don strikes again
Trump just literally says out loud the wet dream of every single american politician ever and the average american is mad that he is simply not discreet.
I’m sure Putin and XI are just shaking in their boots right now.
“…and everyone clapped, and said I was the strongest and smartest, and it really happened” -Trump
The reporting is wrong. It should say: “Trump lied about threatening…” because of course he lied.
Just checked, Russia is still in Ukraine and Moscow remains untouched.
Great news piece
This is not new information. Several conservative commenters told the “bomb the shit out of you” story while campaigning for Trump in fall of 2024.
Literally nobody cares. Turns out the guy says a lot of dumb and exaggerated stuff that doesn’t materialize, or is said for effect.
I can’t wait for this guy to go away.
His death day should be a national holiday
I have a fancy bottle of tequila I bought in 2017 I’ve been saving this whole time and I stopped drinking since then, but this will be an exception. I also have one for Mitch McConnell.
Trump is many things but an excellent fanfiction writer?
That’s new.
Why would China invade itself?
Xi: “If you invade Texas I’ll bomb the shit out of DC”
Trump: 😱😱😱

He meant Taiwan. Which is the original China.
Average sinophobe: completely uneducated about even the basic facts of China
The original china is clearly not on taiwan wtf. Look up the “Great Wall of China” in an atlas.
The ROCs(Far right nationalists) initial rise is inseparable from the PRC (Communists) as they were working together to Reunify all of China at the beginning.
After the breaking of this alliance by the ROC, purging the PRC to establish their far right nationalist base, they only lasted about 20 years, before the PRC regained far more support, resorting to the ROC ultimately retreating to the island of Tawain while the PRC continued focus on the original goal of uniting the mainland, which it achieved, and has thus ruled far more of China longer than the ROC ruled the sections they held.
By no stretch of the imagination can you claim that the ROC has rightful claim over the whole of China.

It has more of a claim to Mainland China then Mainland China has a claim to Taiwan
How so? At best it would have equal claim
No it doesn’t. Taiwan is part of China, the PRC rules China.
If Trump and most Republicans lost the next elections, and this led to a violent split between Democrats and Republicans rather than Trump and the Republicans ceding power, with the Democrats ultimately pushing back the Trumpist insurrection until they fled to Long Island, where they slaughtered most people living there then claimed to rule the entire US from the island.
Trumps Republicans would not still have claim to the entire US just because he ruled for 8 years (and Republicans far longer), and wouldn’t rightfully have claim to Long Island itself. It would be an occupation of American land by a far right nationalist faction, nothing more.
You only disagree with regards to Taiwan because the west sides with the nationalist occupation in an effort to oppose the communist ruling party of China.
