Former US Secretary of State John Kerry has responded to President Donald Trump's accusations he had 'illegal meetings with the very hostile Iranian Regime'.
Trump posted a tweet late Thursday saying that the meetings were 'to the detriment of the American people'.
During an appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher Friday, Kerry compared the leader's behavior to that of children.
'He really is the rare combination – he’s got the maturity of an eight-year-old boy with the insecurity of a teenage girl. That’s just who he is,' the former Massachusetts senator told the show's host and audience.

Kerry also said: 'He's the first President who spends more time reading his Twitter likes than his briefing books or the constitution of the United States'
Kerry added that the president needs to spend more time addressing issues that matter.
He mentioned he should be worrying about the plea deal Paul Manafort has struck with Robert Mueller to cooperate with the Russia investigation, saying: 'Soon he'll be saying that's the worst deal that's been made'.
'He's the first President who spends more time reading his Twitter likes than his briefing books or the constitution of the United States,' he said during the interview.
'It's gone from the art of the deal to the art of the squeal,' he said, mentioning the anonymous op-ed that recently appeared in the New York Times where a member of Trump's administration revealed they and other members of the team have vowed to take him down from the inside.
The Vietnam war veteran was on the show to promote his new memoir Every Day Is Extra and urged the audience to see 2017's Netflix film The Vietnam War: A Film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, which documents just how early the lying began.
He compared the lack of truth surrounding that war to current times.

Kerry said: 'We have a president where the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth are three different things.'
Maher told Kerry that 2004 was really the beginning of the Fake News that Trump speaks of so much, with a campaign against Kerry who went on to take up a role with former President Barack Obama.
Kerry and Maher spoke about the 'Mean Girls' mentality coming from Trump's office with Kerry ultimately defending his decision to have discussions with Iran since leaving his role.
Under President Barack Obama, Kerry was the lead US negotiator opposite the Iranians in the nuclear talks. He is seen right with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif at the United Nations headquarters in New York in April 2016
'We've always relied on our democracy getting stronger when people tell the truth,' Kerry continued, as he discussed with Maher that Trump wasn't a fan of the real truth emerging.
Kerry continued by explaining how he and the late John McCain had brought America too far forward for them to regress under Trump's administration.
'John McCain and I together decided we were going to end the war at home and abroad,' he said, adding that he believes all veterans who came back from Vietnam had a very difficult time.
The chat also detailed how they spent 10 years providing families of the deceased with closure by bringing remains back.
Continuing to defend his meetings with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif for nuclear talks that could change the West's relationship with the Middle East, he said: 'I did absolutely. Everybody does. There's absolutely nothing unusual about it.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
