“I’d Bomb Moscow”: Trump’s Private Threats to Putin and Xi Exposed in Explosive New Book "2024"
United States: Behind veiled doors and velvet-curtained rooms, Donald Trump let his words cut sharper than ever. During intimate donor congregations last year, the President relayed an astonishing tale: to dissuade Vladimir Putin from launching into Ukraine, he once declared he’d “bomb the sh*t out of Moscow” without hesitation.
“I told him straight – you step into Ukraine, Moscow gets turned into fire and ash,” Trump is heard saying on audio secured by CNN. “Putin just smirked, didn’t buy it fully – maybe ten percent. But that sliver was enough.”
He didn’t stop there. In another jarring anecdote, Trump claimed he offered a similar thunderous warning to China’s Xi Jinping, promising that if Taiwan saw invasion, Beijing would face ruin from the skies.
“He thought I was nuts,” Trump laughed, “but funny thing – we never had a single problem.”
These off-the-cuff revelations were captured on tapes from 2024 fundraising circuits in New York and Florida, later unearthed by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. Their book, “2024,” unwraps these candid exchanges never before broadcast.
