Journalist Guy Maroz, in a post quoted by Channel 14's Yinon Magal, delivered an unusually sharp attack on US President Donald Trump, calling him "a man with special needs who accidentally made it to the White House." The remark is the latest in a series of increasingly personal Israeli media critiques of Trump's conduct and policy.
Journalist Guy Maroz, whose previous attacks on President Trump were already covered by the desk — including calling him "a complete moron" and "a man sick with megalomania" on Monday (The Zioneer, June 15) — escalated his rhetoric Thursday evening. In a post shared by Channel 14 commentator Yinon Magal, Maroz called Trump "a man with special needs who accidentally made it to the White House."
Maroz's latest broadside joins a growing wave of pointed Israeli media commentary over Trump's recent policy moves, particularly regarding a potential US-Iran framework that several right-of-center Israeli analysts have described as unfavorable. The desk has tracked multiple such critical voices this week: commentator Yair Goldblatt on June 14 interpreted a cryptic Trump post as evidence of public confusion, and Lt. Col. (res.) Amit Yagur expressed bewilderment at what he called Trump's "conquering his urges" shift toward Iran on June 17.
The remark is attributed solely to Maroz via Magal's Telegram post on Thursday evening. No further context or elaboration has yet been published.
