On Friday, former Secretary of State John Kerry likened President Donald Trump to an “insecure teenage girl” on national television, reports Fox News.
An Overview of Kerry’s Statements
Kerry appeared on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” to promote his forthcoming memoir. However, throughout Kerry’s segment on the show, he also expressed his opinions about the current commander in chief.
“He’s the first president that I know of who spends more time reading his Twitter ‘likes’ than his briefing books or the Constitution of the United States,” Kerry said. “He really is the rare combination of an 8-year-old boy; I mean, he’s got the maturity of an 8-year-old boy with the insecurity of a teenage girl. It’s just who he is.”
Kerry’s statements prompted cheers from the show’s live viewers.
The former secretary of state’s opinions regarding the president came after the latter’s tweets about Kerry’s meetings with the Iranian regime:
John Kerry had illegal meetings with the very hostile Iranian Regime, which can only serve to undercut our great work to the detriment of the American people. He told them to wait out the Trump Administration! Was he registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act? BAD!

Actor Jim Carrey also recently appeared on Maher’s “Real Time” show; Carrey raised eyebrows after calling upon Americans to “say yes to socialism.”
