    Ohhh, he said a lot more than that to his big donors!

    Former president Donald Trump mused Saturday to the GOP’s top donors that the United States should label its F-22 planes with the Chinese flag and “bomb the s--t out of Russia.”

    He also praised North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as “seriously tough,” claimed he was harder on Vladimir Putin than any other president, reiterated his false claims that he won the 2020 election, urged his party to be “tougher” on supposed election fraud, disparaged a range of prominent party opponents and called global warming “a great hoax” that could actually bring a welcome development: more waterfront property.

    “And then we say, China did it, we didn’t do it, China did it, and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch,” he said of labeling U.S. military planes with Chinese flags and bombing Russia, which was met with laughter from the crowd of donors, according to a recording of the speech obtained by The Washington Post.

    His 84-minute address to about 250 of the Republican Party’s top donors at the elite Four Seasons focused heavily on foreign policy and his claims that the 2020 election was “rigged,” as he ticked through a smorgasbord of topics and perceived enemies, using vulgarities and jokes that often drew raucous laughter.

    Speaking of NATO and Trump...

    Trump renews NATO criticism after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and also says "vote counter" can be more important than candidate
    Former President Donald Trump, in remarks to top Republican National Committee donors Saturday evening, renewed his criticism of NATO, hinted again at another run for the White House and suggested that the role played by the "vote counter is oftentimes more important than the candidate" in elections.

    LOL - shut up child you are embarrassing yourself. Don't get into big boy conversations when you don't have the understanding of the global view.

    And a reminder for me, don't argue with idiots who live wholly in the USA and lack the brainpower to think beyond it's borders.

    Chicken Little - is afraid of the draft - there is no draft.

    Buy bye chumper, or rather Trumper - or worse - Spurs fan.

    Or just as if not more likely he's trying to bully the West into lessening them. He's not stupid, he knows this is going to be long and protracted and he NEEDS the $$$ to sustain it and his hold on power.

    Are you ok? You seem extremely flustered. The solution would be to educate yourself, in all honestly. You have a very skewed and simplistic view about everything.

    True or not, this is the **** that Putin and every oligarch, general, senior advisor needs to see every day.

    Sow paranoia, distrust.

    This is how you topple Putin.
