When Donald Trump has something to say, there’s usually two different kinds of reactions. People either sit up and listen to what they have to say, or they raise their eyebrows in confusion. Well, it looks like both might have happened over the weekend when the former president joked that the U.S. should start a war between China and Russia by putting Chinese flags on American fighter jets in Ukraine. Here’s what you need to know.
Donald Trump made his comments during the Republican National Committee convention in New Orleans. He called NATO a “paper tiger” but said that the U.S. cannot stand by during an invasion. He suggested taking American F-22 jets, putting “the Chinese flag on them and bomb the s*** out of Russia,” according to CBS News.

“Then they start fighting with each other, and we sit back and watch,” he added. “Are all of these nations going to stand by and watch perhaps millions of people be slaughtered as the onslaught continues?” Trump said, according to a source. “At what point do countries say, ‘No, we can’t take this massive crime against humanity?’ We can’t let it happen. We can’t let it continue to happen.”
“And then we say, China did it,” he said, to laughter in the room, according to the source. “Then they start fighting with each other, and we sit back and watch.” Trump then criticized President Biden for his handling of Russia.
“We have to have Biden stop saying that — and this is for everyone to hear — that we will not attack Russia ever because they are a nuclear power, right?” Trump said, according to a source. “You know who is saying this? Okay, whether it’s fact or fiction, ‘We will not attack Russia. You see, they are a nuclear power.’ Oh, thanks for telling us.”
