But still, the audio is available. Donnie chose a very wrong country to threaten and fuck with.
Donald Trump told a private gathering of donors last year that he once sought to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from attacking Ukraine by threatening to “bomb the sh*t out of Moscow” in retaliation, according to audio provided to CNN. “With Putin I said, ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the sh*t out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice,’” Trump said during one 2024 fundraiser, according to the audio. “And then [Putin] goes, like, ‘I don’t believe you.’ But he believed me 10%.”
Here is audio.
The news itself is not new, it is a good insight into Trump's psychology, though, and into his utter lack of statesmanship qualities. But somebody should have told him that "believing 10%" to something means that people know 100% that you are full of shit. He chose a very wrong man to get into the dick measuring contest with. Here are more details from Canadians.
As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
