German TV Calls Trump "The Greatest Idiot in History"
Journalist Hans-Ulrich Jörges launched a scathing attack on the U.S. president, calling his behavior "pathological narcissism" and "dangerous childishness."
On Germany’s state television, political commentator Hans-Ulrich Jörges sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump. His remarks came during a discussion on U.S. foreign policy and Trump’s recent decisions in the White House.
Jörges compared Trump to a child incapable of controlling himself:
"Trump is like a child sitting in a playroom, surrounded by toys. He can’t decide what to play with, throws the fire truck at the wall, the train into the corner. That’s how he behaves."
According to the commentator, the president's behavior can be "medically explained":
"This man is a pathological narcissist. He has only one goal. He constantly needs to be admired or feared — but he prefers admiration."
Jörges concluded with a striking statement:
"For this medical diagnosis, there’s a very simple description. This man, Donald Trump, is the greatest idiot in modern history."
The remark sparked intense reactions on social media and in the media landscape. Some critics called it inappropriate for state television, while others supported the journalist, noting that high-level political critique is a key element of democratic society.
Jörges is known as one of Germany's most experienced political commentators, previously working for Der Spiegel and Stern, and is known for strong opinions on international affairs. His words reflected growing European criticism of Trump’s policies, especially amid recent decisions on tariffs, military actions, and diplomatic statements.
