Unhinged Trump Audio Released: ‘Bomb the S**t Out of Moscow’
New audio tapes from Trump’s 2024 fundraisers revealed some shocking insights.
President Donald Trump privately bragged to campaign donors last year that he made a bold threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s face over the Ukraine war, according to new audio.
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.
“With Putin, I said ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m gonna bomb the s–-t out of Moscow,” Trump told his donors. “‘I’m telling you, I have no choice—the public.’ So he goes like, ‘I don’t believe you.’ He said, ‘No way.’ And I said, ‘Way.’”
Trump then claimed that Putin believed his threat “10 percent.”
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told the Daily Beast that “Russia never dared invade Ukraine” in Trump’s first term.
It happened only when Biden was in office,” she said. “Thanks to this president’s leadership, America is once again the leader of the free world, and peace through strength is restored.”
Since Trump took office at the start of the year, however, the conflict has seen numerous escalations that have left hundreds dead. Trump also vowed to end the war in a day, but has so far been unsuccessful in brokering a peace deal.
Trump has grown increasingly impatient with the lack of progress toward a resolution to the conflict. On Tuesday, he announced that the U.S. would send more weapons to Ukraine.
“We also talked about, as you know, the war with Ukraine,” Trump told reporters last week about a call with Putin. “I’m not happy about that. I didn’t make any progress with him today at all.”
