President Donald Trump late Tuesday published an ominous social media post that was directed at the strongmen leaders of Russia, China and North Korea ― who he has all previously lavished praise upon.
Trump appeared to accuse the authoritarian trio of plotting against the United States as China’s Xi Jingping, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un buddied up in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War II.
Trump, amid commentary that China may be seeking to wipe from history America’s role in helping to end the brutal conflict, fumed on his Truth Social platform:
“The big question to be answered is whether or not President Xi of China will mention the massive amount of support and ‘blood’ that The United States of America gave to China in order to help it to secure its FREEDOM from a very unfriendly foreign invader. Many Americans died in China’s quest for Victory and Glory.”
“I hope that they are rightfully Honored and Remembered for their Bravery and Sacrifice!” he continued. “May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration.”
Then Trump darkly concluded:
“Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.”
The post came hours after Trump said he was “very disappointed in” Putin after their face-to-face talks in Alaska last month did nothing to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which Putin launched in 2022.
