Alan Ritchson criticized Donald Trump during a Monday, July 27 appearance on Dax Shepard ’s Armchair Expert podcast, and Fox News host Greg Gutfeld responded on The Five . Ritchson discussed Trump, the Jeffrey Epstein files and what he described as the president’s damage to the world. Ritchson said he was not interested in simply releasing his anger toward Trump, using an intense metaphor to describe his frustration with the president’s actions. The Reacher star’s comments quickly moved from political criticism into a broader debate about resentment, accountability and whether public figures’ personal histories should enter the conversation. Did Gutfeld Go Too Personal? Gutfeld argued that Ritchson’s remarks revealed more about the actor than about Trump. Rather than treating the podcast exchange as a standard political disagreement, Gutfeld characterized Ritchson’s anger as resentment that was “eating him alive,” adding that physical fitness could not resolve what he portrayed as a deeper spiritual problem. Gutfeld also referenced Ritchson’s publicly discussed history of sexual abuse in the modeling industry, bipolar diagnosis and past suicide attempt while speculating about the source of the actor’s outburst. That pivot is the real headline: criticizing a politician is fair game, but using someone’s mental health history to dismiss the criticism is a much more personal play than a political rebuttal.
