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.

Trump’s unfiltered tone showcases a stark contrast to his public stage presence. At these discreet soirées, he leaned into hardline diplomacy, scorched-earth threats, and severe domestic visions – including plans to deport student protesters and railing against what he dubbed the “welfare vote.”

While recounting tête-à-têtes with Putin and Xi, Trump claimed global conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza would’ve been stillborn under his reign – a refrain he continues as current wars grind on under President Joe Biden. Most recently, Trump voiced mounting irritation over Putin’s reluctance to agree to peace, griping that the Russian leader was feeding Washington “a lot of bullsh*t,” according to CNN.

“I’m fed up with Putin,” he said during a Cabinet discussion. “Really fed up.”

At another private donor session, Trump exulted in his ability to pressure affluent supporters into funneling millions into his campaign coffers. With relish, he described his intention to expel students who rally in pro-Palestinian protests.

“Any student who rallies like that – boot them,” Trump declared. “Deport them. One mistake like that, and they’re gone. It’ll end the nonsense real quick.”

After a donor worried that these campus demonstrators could someday hold power, Trump urged the room to fund him generously:

“Help me win, and we can shove that movement back decades – 25 to 30 years.”

Since stepping back into office, Trump has pushed to make good on this vow, igniting courtroom battles over his mass deportation directives – particularly targeting foreign students whose visas he’s moved to cancel.

Elsewhere, he argued that Republicans suffer at the ballot box because, in his words, “the welfare people will always stick with the Democrats.” He lamented that unions and public employees funnel large sums to liberal causes and pleaded with Jewish voters to sway their circles toward red, as reported by CNN.

“You have to rally them to vote Republican,” he urged. “No more sitting quiet.”

With signature bravado, Trump recounted how one donor initially offered $1 million for a sit-down meal with him – but walked away $25 million lighter after Trump’s persuasion.

“I looked him in the eye and told him, ‘No – you’re giving twenty-five,’” Trump said. “And guess what? He did. Madness.”

That wasn’t the only case. He bragged of coaxing other donors into supersized contributions, summing up his strategy simply:

“You need to have the spine to ask. Get inside their heads – that’s where it starts.”
