Surely you should be able to provide a source for the claim that Trump threatened Putin over Ukraine.

Here's the man himself claiming this in his inimitably eloquent style: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-putin-no-way-ukraine-musk_n_66bb6507e4b04b3eb25275eb https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-putin-no-way-ukraine-mu... "No way." "Way."

  If all we have to go on is the man himself -- that means it's a lie of course, like nearly everything else he says.

Not op. But in 2018 Trump did scold live on camera the German leaders for buying gas from Russia. "Germany is completely controlled by Russia". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JpwkeTBwgs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JpwkeTBwgs NOTE: I mostly don't like Trump. But the "Russiagate" angle is ridiculous.

Here you go: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17852964/donald-trump-threaten-bomb-moscow-russia-invade-ukraine/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17852964/donald-trump-threaten... “They're all saying oh he's a nuclear power, it's like they're afraid of him,” Trump said in a recording of the phone conversation with Daly. “You know, he was a friend of mine, I got along great with him. I say, Vladimir, if you do it, we're hitting Moscow. We're going to hit Moscow. And he sort of believed me like 5 per cent, 10 per cent - that's all you need.” He's also said the same thing in several interview. That he told Putin he would make it very difficult to take Ukraine and it cost them economically and militarily. You can infer that meant could mean several things depending on your point of view.
