The 291-page book expresses Routh&#8217;s disappointment over the collapse of the Iranian nuclear agreement that was established during the Obama administration and later dismantled by Trump, as reported by Newsweek. Routh admitted to feeling partly responsible for electing what he described as a &#8220;retarded child&#8221; as president, acknowledging that he had previously supported Trump in 2016. He stated, &#8220;I misjudged and made a terrible mistake,&#8221; and even offered an apology to Iran. In a provocative statement, he suggested that people were free to assassinate both him and Trump due to this error in judgment.<\/p>\n<p>The book also criticizes American leaders for not taking decisive action against perceived threats. Titled \u201cUkraine\u2019s Unwinnable War,\u201d it reflects Routh&#8217;s frustration over not receiving recognition when he proposed bringing foreign fighters to Ukraine. Throughout the text, Routh disparages Trump with terms like &#8220;fool,&#8221; &#8220;idiot,&#8221; and &#8220;buffoon.&#8221; He argues that democracy has rapidly deteriorated under Trump&#8217;s influence and claims that the January 6 Capitol riot was instigated by Trump and his supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Routh further expressed discontent regarding global leadership decisions related to Russian President Vladimir Putin, questioning why historical figures like Hitler were dealt with more decisively than Putin is today.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2020, Routh publicly distanced himself from Trump on social media after expressing disappointment in Trump&#8217;s presidency compared to his campaign promises.<\/p>\n<p>Evelyn Aschenbrenner, an American who worked with the Ukrainian International Legion until June, criticized Routh&#8217;s contributions as minimal at best.
