Trump’s Wild Scheme: ‘Bomb the Shit out of Russia’ With U.S. F-22s Disguised as Chinese Planes
The former president lets donors in on a plan that’s just so crazy it might… trigger a nuclear war

Speaking with Republican donors Saturday night, former President Donald Trump spitballed a wildly dangerous idea to send American F-22 fighter jets painted with the Chinese flag to bomb Russia .
Trump proposed the United States “bomb the shit out of Russia” with disguised planes, as if that would somehow fool Russian President Vladimir Putin into thinking that the CPP had attacked his country. “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,” Trump said, according to The Washington Post, which obtained a recording of the speech. (To be clear, when Trump says “we sit back and watch,” he’s talking about a war that would kill thousands or millions of people)
In addition to proposing a plan so stupid it belongs in an episode of Looney Toons , Trump claimed that Putin would have never attacked Ukraine while he was in the White House. “I knew Putin very well. He would not have done it. He would have never done it,” Trump said. Earlier on in the Ukraine conflict, Trump praised Putin, hailing him as “savvy” and “genius” when he sent Russian troops into portions of Ukraine . And while president, he delayed sending congressionally-approved military aid to Ukraine, trying to use it as leverage to strong-arm President Volodymyr Zelensky into manufacturing dirt on the Biden family.
Trump’s wide-ranging speech to donors often elicited laughter from around 250 Republicans in the room at the New Orleans Four Seasons, according to the Post. At one point, the former president expressed envy of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, describing Kim’s hold over North Korea as “total control” and saying he was impressed with how Kim’s generals and staff “cowered” in his presence. “His people were sitting at attention,” Trump said. “I looked at my people and said, ‘I want my people to act like that.'”
Naturally, it wouldn’t be a Trump speech if he didn’t spend a significant chunk of time spewing election lies. The former president falsely claimed he had won the states of Wisconsin and Georgia and said that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg influenced the election against him. He also advocated for the Republican strategy of replacing election officials across the country with Trump loyalists.
“The vote counter is often more important than the candidate,” Trump said, adding that right-wing radio host Mark Levin told him “… We have to get a lot tougher and smarter at the polls.”
“At a certain point, they won’t show up if we allow this to happen again,” he said of Republican voters.
Trump also strongly hinted that he intends to run for president again in 2024, pushing the lie that it would be his third electoral win. “We’ve already won two presidential elections,” Trump falsely claimed. “And now I feel obligated that we have to really look strongly at doing it again. … We are looking at it very, very strongly. We have to do it. We have to do it.”
He continued, “We’re doing great as a party. The Republican Party is now a fighting party. We are now a winning party. We are never going back to what it was before. It was heading in the wrong direction.”
Other topics in Trump’s speech included mocking Mitch McConnell as “stupid and corrupt,” calling NATO a “paper tiger,” and labeling George Conway — husband to his former advisor and “alternative facts” enthusiast Kellyanne Conway — a “stupid son of a bitch.”

Tuck Frump.
I find this hard to believe. Did the 'Mar-a-Lago Dweller' really say this?
And what spurned the 'Mar-a-Lago Dweller' to disparage the nation that financed his lifestyle for so many years?
Doesn't Trump have a large secret bank account in China?
I suspect many people and entities have 'secret' bank accounts in China.
Mine is no secret. LOL
The Swiss have mine.
Perhaps China is living rent free in Trump's head?
China does not need 'free rent', especially in a dank location rife with fear and anxiety.
Trump: Larger than life and max empty-headed. China is 'ripe' for the stirring, with Russia next door 'cutting up' and darkening the skies with explosive 'unrest.' No, at best Donald thinks to make a 'wave' for China to ride out on the Biden Administration. Talk about GRIEF! If one wishes to set 'fire' to all that you own and hold dear in the world, make a true foe out of a nation with citizens it can expend by the hundreds of million at a time, and we have have even begun to talk about nuclear weapons potential, or China's friendly nations-assets.
No! Trump 'dropped' that into the spirit of this nation and the world hoping it will 'carry' and go viral. . . . Why? To put the Biden Administration in a bind, attempting to explain something that may appear 'exotic' or weird that might occur by accident in that part of the world. It goes by the name: Whisper campaign!
Perhaps China is living rent free in Trump's head?
He was reportedly joking:
But the problem is that he is a former PotUS and his jokes are taken seriously. And even when people recognize that he might not be serious, he is making cavalier comments with political consequences.
Trump is beyond irresponsible and it is both irresponsible and unpatriotic for anyone to support this miserable human being.
Besides he is not kidding, Trump is 'floating' a new line for his rallies (in these 'powder-keg' times)! Like all the other traditions of former presidents he has 'gored,' here he comes again going around lifting up dilemmas without consequences that 'another' has to beat down with a stick! My, my, we can all just imagine what our political lives would be like - if only - we had never heard of the political 'version' of. . . Trump.
Donald Trump is so damn STUPID! And his 'co-conspirators' wonder why Trump's 'critics' are well, so critical of that 'chatterbox' of toxic conversation. Here we go: I don't know what is worse you tell me:
1. Donald Trump is 'bout to broaden his 'BIG LIE' with a lie dressed up in China 'gear.'
2. We get dragged into a 'nuclear war' scenario (whereby Putin 'hurls' something hard and heavy way over here and hit me, you, our mothers and fathers, and sisters and brothers on the heads.
3. China and Russia get so "Tucker' folksy over the latest LIE coming from America that they try a false flag (American) operation on Taiwan.
4. This big-mouthed fool former president just put a 'bad spirit' in the air, and now our frenemies will wonder why would a former 'leader' say something so impossible if it wasn't so?
Now we are getting a(nother) "Masterclass" in why you do not allow bulls to run free in "china" shops, and accordingly why it is never a smart idea to allow petulant adults to handle state secrets and documents. Donald Trump is stamping and trampling our 'pearls' into the floorboards under his feet!
The saying goes: Heavy is the head that (once) wears the 'crown' . . . not if that head is EMPTY!
The 'Mar-a-Lago Dweller' going to hit them with bone spurs? Damn.
This news will be a good test of how much conservatives want to keep sucking Trump's balls. Embarrassment has to start kicking in at some point, doesnt it?
Ronald Reagan once famously joked that the US would start bombing Russia in five minutes. But that didnt occur during an actual shooting war involving Russia. Trump simply has no conception of what is or isnt appropriate for a president or ex-president to say.
America is currently in a degraded state, thanks to trumpism.
Clearly not. The Big Lie alone should have done that. Modern, uber-partisanship and mindless group-think has produced blind, irrational support for this miserable individual.
18 comments so far and not one from his loyalists defending him does sort of suggest that.
No, the typical comments are attacks on Biden and lame deflections like "... but Trump". There are quite a few who seem to support Trump no matter what but cannot do even a halfway decent job of defending him (tough thing to do). They clearly realize the problems with Trump but cannot seem to shake free. Thus they make ridiculous claims about Trump and attack Biden on pretty much everything he does and does not do.
If you look up Shameless you'll see Trump's picture!
Remember, Trump knows more than the Generals.
Yeah, Trump is coocoo for cocoa puffs. A whackjob!
It is around 1 p.m. on a sunny day temperature around 72 F, and I am going to spend the afternoon checking out and photographing the Spring flowers, so since when I return most everyone will be sleeping I'm locking this seed for my night and will unlock it again early in my tomorrow morning.
Breakfast is now done, this seed is unlocked for civil commentary, if any.
Since 24 hours went by with this seed unlocked and nobody commented, I don't intend to moderate it any longer, so now locked permanently.
