INTERVIEW: Trump is clinically insane

Añadido: 2026-06-04

[00:00:00]But Scott Ritter has now for decades, for actually a quarter of a century or more, been the only man speaking for peace and speaking it well in the United States of America. He has the record.

[00:00:15]Former Marine Intelligence Officer, former United Nations weapons inspector, a man who knows war but loves peace.

[00:00:25]That's why we love him. Scott Ritter, welcome back to the mother of all talk shows. Before we uh tour the wars, as it were, I wondered if, like me, you had watched Donald Trump's press conference in the uh cabinet uh room today, leaving aside the inanities confusing Venezuela with Iran and all the uh if you like uh uh intellectual cognition decline that we've come to expect from him. Uh he didn't sound like a guy who intended peace in the Persian Gulf to me. When you call your interlocator vicious scum, when you say that nobody will control the straits of Hormuz because it's international waters, spoiler alert, it is not international waters. It's the national territorial water of Iran and Oman. Uh and that they will have to do what he says or he will blow them up.

[00:01:34]That's Oman in the crosshairs now, never mind Iran. Uh he didn't sound like a guy who was fixing for peace to me. How did he sound to you?

[00:01:46]>> He sounded like a clinically insane individual. Um, I've been saying this for a long time now. I've said it on your show before. I'll I'll say it again. Donald Trump um is a narcissist is suffers from narcissistic personality disorder of the most malignant variety.

[00:02:04]Uh this is a diagnosible condition that you're able to diagnose if you're a boardcertified psychiatrist or psychologist from a distance. Normally uh you need to have a patient present themselves and you do an you know in in-person survey and things of that nature. Uh narcissistic personality disorder actually has five observable characteristics that can be observed through uh behavior. This is what's laid out in the DSM manual. Um and it's not Scott Ritter saying this because of course I'm not a boardcertified psychiatrist psychologist. I am I didn't stay at a hotel 6 last night. uh you know so I don't you know I can't claim to have any insight to this but I have sat on a panel of board certified psychiatrists and psychologists who have diagnosed Donald Trump with narcissistic personality disorder and it has manifested itself um in this malignant uh state we saw here we what we saw at that press conference is a mentally ill individual sadly but true a mentally ill individual um you know this is the this is exactly what the 25th amendment was created for where you know cabinet members the vice president need to come together and remove this mentally ill individual from power. This is a man who lacks any rationality. Um you know there it's difficult actually to get angry with him anymore because he's mentally ill. It was like trying to get mad at Joe Biden when his uh Alzheimer's had kicked in. He he was mentally deficient.

[00:03:35]You couldn't you can't get angry at a person who is legally not accountable for their actions. understand that Donald Trump, if he went to trial in America for a crime, could literally be let off from the crime by pleading insanity because he is clinically insane. And this is what we saw at this press conference, a clinically insane individual opining on issues um in a manner that makes no sense. But the the good news is if you're upset with Donald Trump said at at that press conference, just give him six hours. he'll say something completely different because that's what clinically insane people do.

[00:04:11]They're all over the place. The schizophrenia that resides in the mind of this malignant narcissist uh means that he can't be consistent on anything.

[00:04:20]What he can be consistent on is just not knowing the facts, not knowing reality.

[00:04:25]And again to make a statement like he did about the straight hormuz shows total detachment from reality because it's not only factually incorrect but the idea that Donald Trump is the president of the United States who lost the war with Iran is now going to lord over the straight of her moves in some sort of grand oversight capacity means he is totally detached from the real world. Now, far from removing him, the cabinet member sitting next to him were encouraging him. Uh, the lunatic Hegith and the far from lunatic Rubio, who definitely hopes to succeed him, uh, they were feeding of his uh, uh, his fantasies. They were feeding in to his mania.

[00:05:13]uh he's really surrounded himself with some very rum individuals and that's just at the very top. You go a little bit lower you find Howard Lutnik about whom uh perhaps more later uh the cabinet seem fully on board.

[00:05:32]>> Sad but true. Um but this is what happens when you allow pro-Israeli money to buy American politics and American politicians. Uh we have a Congress that is completely bought out by Israel. Uh that was proven last congressional election when Israel brags about $und00 million funneled through their proxy, the Apac, AmericanIsraeli public affairs committee. $100 million funneled in for the stated purpose of buying Congress, the best Congress money can buy. And we've seen that this has manifested itself in the current race. Thomas Massie, $30 million plus dollars spent by pro-Israeli lobbies to buy a congressional seat. And $200 million of Miriam Adlesen's money bought Marco Rubio, little Marco, and made him Secretary of State/ Nationalist Security Adviser. Similar monies, you know, were went to getting Pete Haggith, Scott Bessant, and other, you know, Zionist crazies to surround this president. This is a cabinet built to be sycopantic, to say yes to the crazy ideas of this president. Anybody who's worked with Donald Trump understands that there's no such thing as an adviser to Donald Trump. Donald Trump can't be advised.

[00:06:43]Even when he was capable of rational thought, he cannot be advised. Donald Trump functions as a cult of personality. We live in the world of Donald Trump. Everything is about Donald Trump. And again, people, I'm not making this up. This man erected a golden idol to himself in Mara Lago. Brought in religious figures to pray to God, praising him. Uh not understanding if you read the Bible, this is what you know got the Hebrews in bad standing with the Lord God Almighty to raise golden idols and prayed for them. They were smoked, smitten, turned into salt, whatever. Um hopefully Donald Trump might suffer the same biblical uh malady. I don't know. Um, but the point, poor Melania, imagine her turning into a pillar of salt, uh, looking back over her shoulders at what has happened. But the point is, this is not a well man.

[00:07:33]This is an insane man who will take advice from nobody. So these people sitting there, what does a sycopant do when confronted with the insanity? They kiss even more. You know what? They lick even more boots. Their noses get browner. And that's what we saw here.

[00:07:49]These aren't statesmen on display. Marco Rubio is not a statesman. Marco Rubio is actually guaranteeing he will never be president of the United States because of this horrific behavior. He's little Marco and it's been pronun. Pete Hgse is just another insane individual clinically insane or he could be found innocent by means of intoxication. Who knows what he's doing behind the scenes, but it's not rational how he's behaving.

[00:08:15]This is a national embarrassment.

[00:08:16]Indeed, it's an international embarrassment. The United States of America is supposed to be a superpower, a great power, a great nation. We have a great people. But look what these great people have put in power today because we've allowed ourselves to be bought out by Israeli money. And this is literally the manifestation of what happens when you allow this malignant group called Zionist to hijack your society. America is a byproduct of the malignancy, the parasitism of this little state called Israel. So, I was going to ask you, is there a peace deal with Iran or not? Is there going to be a new war with Iran or not? But I guess based on what you've said, we can't know that. We won't know that until one of two things happen.

[00:09:06]Either the American Armada withdraws or it starts firing. We're certainly not going to know based on anything that Donald Trump says, are we?

[00:09:17]>> No. I I I will say this. Uh there will not be a peace deal. There cannot be a peace deal. Donald Trump is incapable of an agreement. Sergey Lavrov said this.

[00:09:26]America is agreement incapable in the Trump administration especially. This is a narcissist. An agreement implies an agreement between nation states. It implies mutually acceptable and beneficial terms that both parties agree to adhere to. Donald Trump cannot adhere to anything because Donald Trump cannot accept a mutually beneficial agreement because he lives in a zero- sum world where anything that's beneficial to others is not to his benefit. That maximum benefit must occur to him and him alone. He must be the only one who benefits. Therefore, there will be no agreement because he will never agree to an agreement. He may agree to uh temporary um you know situational uh things such as allowing oil to flow out of the straight or moves which he has to do in order to stay alive. Oil must flow. Um but he's not going to agree to Iranian control. So therefore we will have a we will never get to full agree but Iran needs oil to flow too. So I think we could be in a situation where Iran acrews income together with Oman through an environmental tax uh that Trump doesn't approve of. Um but the oil flows uh but there won't be a lifting of sanctions and therefore there'll be constant tension etc. This is the reality of Donald Trump. Um now will Iran forego this and just say no we're going to squeeze the death out of this? I don't know. China has a heavy influence on Iran and China needs the oil to flow.

[00:10:55]So, I think what's going to happen is there's going to be this non-aggreement agreement uh that's going to be put in place that allows oil to flow, but it's not going to solve the underlying problems. But that's okay because Donald Trump in this world, it's a non-sustainable world for Donald Trump.

[00:11:12]We can't keep our military deployed in this fashion. We're running out of money. Pete Hgset, the that sat next to the president, had to announce that we can't deploy 4,200 troops to Poland because we can't afford to send a rotational brigade despite our agreement with NATO. But then Donald Trump undermined by saying, "Well, we're going to transfer 5,000 troops to Poland anyways." And Congress, what the hell are you talking about? We have to approve that and we haven't approved that. You don't have a status force agreement with Poland. There will be no 5,000 troops. Welcome to the insane world of Donald Trump where nothing is real. only Donald Trump's fantasy imaginations and ruminations. This is what we're going to experience for the next two years. The the the just the lunatic and ramblings of a clinically insane individual uh surrounded by sycopants who don't have the courage to stand up and tell him no.

[00:12:00]>> I was just thinking about Melania as a pillar of salt and uh Trump's history of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is a wonderful seam that you have laid out in front of us and uh it deserves to be mined more fully. I'll turn my mind to that. But uh I need to ask you about uh the situation in the NATO Ukraine war. I said earlier to a caller that if you put all of the European arm of NATO together in its military prowess absent French and British nuclear weapons uh which they definitely have and if they were to be allowed in the British case to be used uh they would cause real devastation but that would be the end of Britain. literally the end of every person in Britain as the retaliation came in. It would be the end of every person in France. But short of nuclear uh the European arm of NATO, I mean doesn't have a pot to piss in. Uh it doesn't add up to a row of beans. So why are they gambling that they can participate in mass murder of civilians in Russia but Russia will not hit them back?

[00:13:33]I mean what is it that makes them feel so secure about that Scott? Well, the first thing is that Europe like the United States is infected with Russophobia. And Russophobia is the irrational fear, you know, deliberate misunderstanding of Russia, the hatred of Russia, all things Russia. And so they're incapable of rational thinking when it comes to Russia. You and I have been to Russia. Um we know the reality of Russia. Um and we know that everything Europe says about Russia is just a straight up falsehood. Uh but to the average European, they don't know that. They're only cognizant of what they experience. What they experience is Russia through the lens of people who hate Russia, who are in the business of, you know, selling hatred about Russia.

[00:14:16]Um, and so you have a European audience that's, you know, receptive to, you know, misinformation. Um, and so what happens is they're told that Russia is the enemy and that we must prepare for war against Russia. Now, you and I know that that's not something that's going to uh end up well for Europe. But now we we take it up to the next level. We have politicians whose whole uh continued existence because George, you're a politician. I don't mean to pick on you, but you understand when you get elected, it's very important that you get reelected. Um and that you spend a lot of time and effort campaigning to be reelected. And so, you know, you were a man of integrity, a man of principle, which is why you're no longer in parliament because there are certain compromises you wouldn't make and you paid the political price. But, um, there most politicians aren't you. I wish they were. God, if we had a world of George Galloways, what a wonderful world it would be. But, you know, most politicians once they get elected will do anything to stay elected. They will sell their souls. They will sell their family. They will sell everything, all of their integrity to stay in office.

[00:15:20]Europe is populated by a political and economic elite that have built on a bodyguard of lies about Russia a foundation upon which they are projecting their political viability and sustainability. They must hate Russia to stay relevant. They can't reverse course. They can't do the right thing because to do the right thing would expose the fallacies of their entire being. So they will continue to push that Russia is bad, Russia's evil, Russian bad, Russia's evil. Now, we layer on top of this a more nefarious class, British intelligence. Um, the British intelligence is very good at some things. And one of the things they're very good at is information warfare, psychological operations. And Britain is running, the MI6 is running a very sophisticated psychological operation against Russia right now because that's the only hope they have.

[00:16:07]The only hope they have is that Russia collapses from within similar to what happened in the Soviet Union when you know when when when Peristoric and Glasnos didn't live up to the uh expectations and you had you know emptiness collapse etc. They're hoping to get a replay of that. They're hoping to create a situation where Vladimir Putin's government collapses from within. In order to do that you have to resonate a certain mindset, a certain thinking. And this is why it's frustrating for you and I to hear all the time about how Ukraine's winning, how Russia's bad, how Putin's bad, this.

[00:16:39]But the problem is if you keep saying it over and over again, it does resonate.

[00:16:43]It echoes. It echoes off into the minds of certain people in Russia who start to believe in the impetence of Vladimir Putin and the impetence of Russia, the weakness of Russia that Russia can't win. And this is the only chance Europe has of winning is that for Russia to collapse from within. But in order to for Russia to collapse within, they have to maintain this outside posture of being a willingness to go to war.

[00:17:07]Because why would the Russian people be concerned about the impetence of their leadership and there was no threat from Europe? Europe must manifest itself in a threatening way so that the people look at the seemingly failures in Ukraine and they project that and say, "My god, if we fail in Ukraine, Europe's going to get us. We're in trouble." The uh the problem is the British intelligence services are insane. like Donald Trump and they live in a fantasy world in which reality isn't reflective and they're about to learn the hard way. You see, Vladimir Putin's not weak. The war that he's been running in Ukraine has been a masterful exercise of not just military art, but economic art and political art brought together by a true grandmaster of the world's situation. He has avoided escalation because he didn't need to escalate because he was winning economically, winning politically, winning on the battlefield, and left to his own devices, he could avoid the escalation trap. Um, but the problem is now we have a situation where that they changed the game. There's a big drone campaign run by the British, by the way, that's been going, remember Operation Spiderweb and and so forth, that's been going on for some time now. The British are empowering the Ukrainians to begin a massive drone offensive that's going to begin in June, the month of June.

[00:18:22]Zalinski's already announced it. And this drone offensive isn't going to Russia militarily or economically. The whole purpose of drone offensive is to Russia politically by injecting uncertainty in the Russian population. Um they would have gotten away with this. They that they would have gotten away with this, but they keep pushing red lines. And a red line they pushed, of course, was the attack on the Starbell Teachers College.

[00:18:47]The murder of these 21 students in their sleep was a straw that broke the camel's back. Uh the Russian population has said no more. And Vladimir Putin can't ignore this reality. U Vladimir Putin is not a dictator. Vladimir Putin is a very strong leader, a very centralized leader, but is a leader who is responsive to the needs, wants, and desires of the people of Russia. And the people of Russia now have said this cannot stand. And so we are going to see Russia change the game. It's no longer about balancing a delicate balance, the grandmaster balance of economic, political and military. This is about the eraser of Ukraine. Ukraine it will be erased. The Russians had made it quite clear from the Duma to the Ministry of Defense of the Foreign Ministry that there will be a systemic and sustained um aggression against Ukraine to eliminate decision-making centers and defense industry until which time Ukraine changes its posture, which means it unconditionally accepts the terms of surrender dictated by Russia.

[00:19:46]This is the only option. There is no more negotiation path. There is nothing.

[00:19:49]The war is over. It's just a matter of how long it takes Ukraine to die. And in doing this, in erasing Ukraine, Russia is also making the sending the signal to Europe there. But for the grace of God, go you. If this is why there was an emergency meeting in the Baltics about the about drones, uh it wasn't, you know, they say posture. We all know the Europeans posture. They weren't the one to posture. But what they're really saying is we have to shut down the Baltic drone corridor because we can't allow Zalinski to use these drones to attack St. Petersburg next week where the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is taking place. If you think the Russians are going to let Ukraine attack the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum without consequence, you're high. And if you think you're a Baltic state facilitates that attack, you're dead. U so this is the reality. And if you're going to attack Latia, which Russia is prepared to do, u then you're going to attack Lithuania, which has also made ridiculous statements about Kenigrad. If you're attack Lithuania, you're going to attack Poland. If you're going to attack Poland, you're going to attack England.

[00:20:45]If you're attack England, you're gonna attack Germany. Russia's ready to attack everybody. And Europe's not ready for this. This is the the reality of the game that's being played right now.

[00:20:55]Europe just doesn't realize it. Some someday soon they will realize it. I mean, you know how long Russia allows Great Britain to play stupid games such as we're going to sanction the hell out of Russian oil, but not yet because we need aviation fuel to keep British Airs in operation throughout the summer. Um, you know, and all of Europe's playing that game. Air. France will run out of aviation fuel. Lufansza's already canceled 20,000 flights. Uh, Russia has so many more cards than anybody possibly knows. Um, but the bottom line is that Vladimir Putin is not playing the escalation management game anymore.

[00:21:25]Vladimir Putin is committed to a policy of the eraser of Ukraine. And along with that, because Putin doesn't do anything where he hasn't thought out the ramifications, the eraser of Ukraine will be the eraser of Europe if Europe wants to play that game.
