Scott Ritter goes full rampage on Trump in interview – calls him “weak and insecure man” and “narcissistic idiot”

In an interview on Tuesday on the very popular YouTube channel “Judging Freedom,” hosted by Judge Andrew Napolitano, the show featured the equally well-known former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, who has gained significant attention on social media in recent years.

The topic of the day was “Can Trump Bring Peace to Ukraine?” The program took an unexpected and dramatic turn when Scott Ritter launched a full verbal assault on President Trump and his abilities—or rather, his inabilities, according to Ritter.

Ritter described Trump as “weak,” claiming he is easily influenced by everyone he interacts with. He further stated that Trump is “ultimately, at the end of the day, a very weak and insecure man who doesn’t have what it takes to stand up, look people in the eye, and say, ‘You’re fired.’”

Ritter accused Trump of taking money from lobbyists, such as Miriam Adelson (widow of Sheldon Adelson), and implied that Trump therefore follows orders from others. He also stated that Trump “has surrounded himself with the wrong people,” like Marco Rubio, and “that’s why he’s [Trump] failing right now,” according to Ritter.

Ritter went on to say that Trump essentially doesn’t know what he’s doing or talking about when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine. He claimed, “Trump can’t even spell Russia” and described Trump as “schizophrenic when it comes to Zelensky,” saying, “One minute he calls him an irresponsible dictator, and the next minute he speaks of him as a legitimate leader.” Ritter attributed this inconsistency to the influence of others controlling Trump.

In the discussion between Judge Napolitano and Ritter, they argued that the war in Ukraine is not Biden’s war, but in fact Trump’s war. According to Ritter, Trump escalated the conflict during his presidency by sending weapons, building “20 CIA bases” in Ukraine, and “designing the whole war” before Russia invaded in 2022, with the goal of “destroying Russia.”

“He planned this war. He wanted this war. This is Donald Trump’s war,” said Ritter. He went on to claim, “The man doesn’t know how to stand for anything,” referring to Trump’s policies. Ritter argued that people “smarter than he is” are the ones truly making the decisions. “Donald Trump is not a smart man,” he said, also calling Trump an “idiot” for believing that 5,000 Russians are dying every week in Ukraine.

Ritter, who was once a major Trump supporter and often criticized for not being objective about the former president, now says shockingly that Trump “doesn’t deserve to be president,” and that “he’s an embarrassment to the American people.” “I’m tired of this buffoon,” said Ritter.

Ritter described Trump as an “arrogant” man with “as much significance as my fingernail.” He also called him a “lunatic” and a “narcissist,” telling him, “You’re nobody,” and even saying he is “too stupid to live” and that he “should get the hell out of office” if he can’t support the US Constitution. “You are the most un-American son of a bitch that has ever sat in the White House,” said a furious Scott Ritter.

Ritter concluded that Donald Trump “could have been the leader that America needs,” but instead, “he’s a narcissistic idiot who sits there and posts pictures of himself as the Pope.”
