Trump threatened to bomb Moscow if Putin attacks Ukraine
At a private meeting of donors in the past year,Donald Trump said that he had tried to prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from attacking Ukraine by threatening to "make Moscow equal to the ground" - a statement that was documented by audio recordings by CNN.
Trump threatens military measures
"I said with Putin: 'If you march into Ukraine, I will equate Moscow to the ground. I tell you, I have no choice'," said Trump during a fundraising event for the presidential elections 2024 and added: "and then said [Putin]: 'I don't believe you.' But he believed me 10 percent."
warnings of XI Jinping
Trump later claimed that he also passed on a similar warning to Chinese President Xi Jinping in relation to a possible invasion of Taiwan. He had announced that XI would bomb Beijing in return. "He thought I was crazy," said Trump about XI, but found that "we never had a problem."
Trump's aggressive foreign policy
These comments fell for a second term in the context of Trump's argument and were recorded in a number of tapes of fundraising events in New York and Florida, which were later published by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf. The audio has not yet been broadcast publicly. The Trump campaign refused to comment on the content of the recordings.
The recordings show an unshakable side of Trump, which he reveals behind closed doors to convince rich donors-he not only spoke about his sometimes aggressive foreign policy, but also about the deportation of student protesters and expressed his opinion that "the social welfare recipients" would always vote for the Democrats.
conflicts in Ukraine and in the Gaza strip
Trump referred to his conversations with Putin and XI, while he claimed that he had averted conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza strip if he had been president instead of Joe Biden-an assertion that he continues to repeat while he is currently fighting to end both wars.
On Tuesday, Trump once again expressed resentment about Putin's resistance to a peace treaty and complained that the Russian guide would serve the United States "a lot of crap". "I'm not satisfied with Putin," he said during a cabinet meeting. "I'm very dissatisfied with him."
deportation of protesting
During a fundraising event, Trump brated that he put wealthy allies under pressure to donate millions of dollars for his campaign. At another event, he announced that he would advance his government's efforts to deport student protesters and told about his encounters with foreign leaders. "One thing I would do is: every student who protests that I would throw it out of the country," said Trump at another closed fundraiser and promised to prevent pro-Palestinian demonstrations on university grounds. "These people made a big mistake. Throw them out of the country and I think that will stop it."
donations and political strategies
According to the statements of a donor who expressed concerns that some of the student protesters would one day "lead this country", Trump asked the audience to be "really generous" to help him win. "If you choose me, we will throw this movement back by 25 to 30 years," he said.
Trump tried to implement this promise since he took office, which resulted in a large number of legal disputes between the White House and the judiciary about the scope of its government's mass deportation policy - including the deportation of students whose visa has tried to revoke the government.
Financial support for the Republicans
At another fundraising event, Trump urged those present to donate more for his campaign by claiming that the Republicans were at a disadvantage because "the social welfare recipients would always vote for the Democrats". "The unions give a lot of money, the public service gives a lot of money and they have the advantage of social assistance," he said. "What I have to say to my Jewish friends: You have to make them choose Republicans."
persuasiveness for donors
During this event, Trump also brated that he had convinced a wealthy donor who had made a million Dollar offer for lunch with him to increase the amount to $ 25 million. "And he did it, he gave me $ 25 million," said Trump. "It's crazy."The then GOP presidential candidate claimed that he also made others donate much more than originally planned. "You have to have the courage to ask," he said. "You have to put them in the right way of thinking."
