During an episode of *Real Time with Bill Maher*, host Bill Maher expressed skepticism regarding Donald Trump's recent Iran agreement, questioning its effectiveness and the president's negotiation skills. Maher sarcastically remarked, "I love this deal. We got everything we wanted except everything we asked for," and criticized the agreement as lacking substance, referring to it as a "memorandum of understanding" rather than a formal deal. He pointed out that the agreement, which includes the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Iran and a commitment from Iran not to pursue nuclear weapons, falls short of Trump's earlier promises of an 'unconditional surrender.' Maher highlighted the disparity between Trump's initial bold claims and the current agreement, asking, "Where's the big dealmaker? What happened to *The Art of the Deal*?" The White House did not respond to requests for comment on Maher's statements. Meanwhile, the administration has begun circulating talking points to allies framing the deal as a significant achievement in managing a long-standing threat.
