The following report is by The Kyiv Post:
According to the Washington Post, Trump made the comment during an unspecified leg of his nationwide fundraising tour, a statement which reportedly shocked some of his donors.
“Oftentimes, his comments at the events are about foreign policy and topics he discusses at rallies, such as inflation and immigration.
“For example, at one event, he suggested that he would have bombed Moscow and Beijing if Russia invaded Ukraine or China invaded Taiwan, surprising some of the donors,” Josh Dawsey the writer of the report commented without further elaboration.
The publication said it reached out to the Trump Campaign with “detailed questions about his fundraising requests” but only received “a statement in support of his efforts.”
Trump has been known, and at times scrutinized, for his ambiguous position on Ukraine.
In February 2022, following Russia’s full-scale invasion, he praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as being a “genius” and “savvy,” a comment preceded and followed by a longstanding skepticism over aid to Ukraine.
However, in February this year, Trump alleged current US President Joe Biden – who has officially called for more aid to Kyiv – to be a weak leader who will “give” Ukraine to Putin, suggesting that he would do more for Ukraine.
Trump also accused Europe of “not paying their fair share” in support of Ukraine compared to Washington, a statement that was debunked in a Kyiv Post analysis earlier this month.
In a comment made in September 2023, Trump also said he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours without providing details of how he would go about it. An April Washington Post report claimed that Trump’s plan would require Ukraine to cede Donbas and Crimea, which would be a strategically significant departure from Washington’s current policy.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The WaPo is not always the greatest resource for truth (and that’s putting it mildly), but it still falls in line with Trump’s double-mindedness and constant hypocrisies; and aligns with his warmongering persona that all creatures in D.C. possess: they are ordered what to do lest they lose their seat and money.
James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Ecclesiastes 10:14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

45 was somewhat prescient with that snake poem. Just sayin’ . . .
No wonder Putin publicly remarked that Trump is unpredictable:
First it was: “I’l finish the war in 24 hours”
Then it turned into making Ukrainian aid a loan, instead of a grant.
Now we see the whole picture
~ Trump says he “would have bombed Moscow and Beijing” — The Washington Post
Former US President Donald Trump told his campaign donors that he “would have bombed Moscow and Beijing” if during his term “Russia had invaded Ukraine or China had invaded Taiwan.”
According to sources cited by WP, these statements “surprised” those present ~
Making the US great again implies – for this man – restoring the empire to its unchallenged position in the world, as it was in the 1990s and early 2000s.
If this fellow returns to the White House, Russia and China better trust in God (China cannot enjoy such luxury) and keep your powder dry. Unless Kennedy comes into the picture, any current likely option appears frightful.
Allegedly….
