Bill Maher recently took a swipe at Donald Trump’s Iran deal on his show, using a reference to the infamous Stormy Daniels scandal. Trump recently signed an agreement to continue the ceasefire between Iran and the United States. The deal also centers on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Bill Maher jokes about Donald Trump’s Iran deal
The veteran TV host and comedian recently went on to call out the POTUS on Real Time with Bill Maher for his Iran deal. The latter recently signed a deal to maintain the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the US.
It is a 14-page deal that states that Iran should not possess nuclear weapons. However, according to a BBC report, the US will also provide financial aid to Iran for its economic development.
On the June 20 episode of his show, Bill Maher compared this deal to the controversy that was centered around Donald Trump and adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He stated, “Where have I seen this strategy before? Oh yeah, I think I would call it the Stormy Daniels strategy. It’s a third party’s going to send you money, and then we’re going to pretend this never happened.”
It was previously reported that Daniels received a big sum from Trump’s lawyer to allegedly stop her from speaking about their 2006 interaction. Maher further added, “I love this deal. We got everything we wanted except everything we asked for.”
Additionally, Maher questioned the legal bindings of the agreement. He signaled that they were weak, and he expected a much stricter set of terms. The 70-year-old added, “It’s not a deal. It’s a memorandum of understanding. It’s about as legally binding as the sign in the break room that says, ‘Please clean microwave.'”
Bill Maher further taunted Donald Trump for his negotiation skills. He said, “What happened to the art of the deal? This is his big close? I got news for you. The emperor has no clothes.” Meanwhile, Trump has yet to respond to Maher’s backlash directed at him.
