“I told Putin, “If you invade Ukraine, I’ll bomb Moscow to hell. I’m telling you, I won’t have a choice.” And he was like, ‘I don’t believe you.’ He said, “No way.” And I said, “You bet.” He said again, “I don’t believe you.” But the truth is, he believed me… well, 10%. I told you — he believed me 10%.”
Then I met with Xi from China. And I told him the same thing: ‘If you attack Taiwan, I’ll bomb Beijing to hell.’ He thought I was crazy. He asked, ‘Beijing?’ I replied, “I have no choice, I’ll have to bomb you. We will bomb Beijing.‘ He didn’t believe me either — but he believed me 10%. And 10% is all you need. To be honest, even 5% would have been enough.’
The recording was made at one of the events held by Trump for his campaign donors.
