WASHINGTON: Former US secretary of state John Kerry has torn into Donald Trump for accusing him of retaining "illegal" conferences with Iran, announcing the American President has the maturity of an "eight-year-old boy with the insecurity of a teenage girl".
Kerry's attack got here based on Trump's tweet accusing the former secretary of state of retaining "illegal meetings" with the Iranian government that were "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!" Trump tweeted.
Reacting to the accusation on a late-night talk show on Friday to promote his new memoir 'Every Day is Extra', Kerry 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".
"Unfortunately, we have a president, literally, for whom 'the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth' is three different things. And you don't even know what they are," Kerry used to be quoted as announcing by way of 'The Washington Post'.
"He really is the rare combination of an 8-year-old boy - he's got the maturity of an 8-year-old boy with the insecurity of a teenage girl. It's just who he is," he said.
Kerry's remarks gained a combined reaction online. While some lauded the comparability as "absolutely priceless" and a "mic drop" second, many expressed sadness for his "condescending" and "inaccurate" generalisation of young women.
Matt Summers, a spokesman for Kerry, later defended Kerry's Iran conferences.
"Secretary Kerry stays in touch with his former counterparts around the world just like every previous secretary of state," he said.
Kerry together with other most sensible US officers played a key position in negotiating the 2015 settlement between Iran and several other international powers that lifted sanctions against Tehran in change for restrictions on its nuclear programme.
