Trump’s Bold Warning to Putin: Moscow Bombing Threat if Ukraine Invaded, Book Reveals

Brief
Trump warned Putin of bombing Moscow if Russia invaded Ukraine, new book claims, highlighting his aggressive foreign policy stance.
In a stunning revelation from the new book 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America, President Donald Trump reportedly told donors in 2024 that he warned Russian President Vladimir Putin of severe consequences if Russia invaded Ukraine. According to an audio recording, Trump claimed he told Putin, "Vladimir, if you do it, we’re going to bomb the s--- out of Moscow." He allegedly issued a similar threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding a potential invasion of Taiwan, stating, "If you go into Taiwan, I’m going to bomb the s--- out of Beijing." Trump suggested that even a sliver of belief—"10 percent"—in his warnings was enough to deter aggression.
The book, published this week, details Trump’s 2024 election victory and the missteps of Joe Biden’s campaign, particularly around concerns about Biden’s age. While Trump’s blunt rhetoric underscores his 'peace through strength' approach, the White House countered that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine occurred in February 2022, after Trump’s first term. Spokesperson Anna Kelly emphasized, "Russia never dared invade Ukraine when [Trump] was in office. Thanks to this President’s leadership, America is once again the leader of the free world."
Trump’s recent comments reflect growing frustration with Putin. During a Cabinet meeting, he expressed irritation, saying, "We get a lot of bulls--- thrown at us by Putin," hinting at potential new sanctions on Russia. The book also highlights tensions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and JD Vance’s defense of Trump’s foreign policy. These revelations paint a picture of a president unafraid to wield bold threats to shape global outcomes.

Trump’s dropping verbal bombs on Putin and Xi like he’s auditioning for a geopolitical action flick! But seriously, threatening to level Moscow or Beijing? That’s less diplomacy, more ‘Art of the Deal’ with a side of pyrotechnics. Meanwhile, Putin’s probably smirking, thinking, ‘Nice try, Donald, but my poker face is colder than a Siberian winter.’ What’s really cooking here is Trump’s knack for headlines—because nothing says ‘peace through strength’ like a soundbite that echoes from Mar-a-Lago to the Kremlin.
