America has power no one has ever seen before. And we’re not afraid to use it.
And now Trump slapped an existential threat on this foreign leader’s desk.
Bold Diplomacy for Global Stability
A new book, 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America, published Tuesday, reveals President Donald Trump’s assertive approach to foreign policy during his 2024 campaign.
According to the book, Trump told donors he issued stark warnings to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping against military aggression.
“I was with Putin and I told him, ‘Vladimir, if you do it, we’re going to bomb the s— out of Moscow,’” Trump declared, per an audio recording shared with CNN.
He added a similar warning to Xi:
“If you go into Taiwan, I’m going to bomb the s— out of Beijing.” These bold statements underscore Trump’s commitment to deterring global threats through strength, a cornerstone of his America First agenda that resonated with voters in his 2024 election victory.
Restoring American Leadership
The book, authored by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf, highlights Trump’s leadership in preventing foreign conflicts during his first term, contrasting it with the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine under President Joe Biden.
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly reinforced this, stating:
“As President Trump has said time and again, Russia never dared invade Ukraine when he was in office. It happened only when Biden was in office.” She emphasized, “Thanks to this President’s leadership, America is once again the leader of the free world, and peace through strength is restored.”
Trump’s decisive rhetoric, as detailed in the book, reflects his strategy of projecting power to maintain global stability, a key factor in his 2024 mandate to prioritize American interests.
Confronting Ongoing Challenges
Trump’s frustration with Putin has grown as he works to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. During a Tuesday Cabinet meeting, he expressed exasperation, saying:
“We get a lot of bulls— thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.”
The President is considering new sanctions on Russia to pressure Putin into negotiations, showcasing his proactive stance on resolving international conflicts.
While the White House did not confirm the audio’s authenticity, the book’s account aligns with Trump’s track record of tough diplomacy, which continues to shape his administration’s efforts to secure peace and protect American sovereignty.
