Maher torches Trump on Iran war he supported: ‘He keeps saying we won and we didn’t’

Late night host Bill Maher on Friday rebuked President Trump’s comments about the U.S.’s military operations against Iran, after initially backing the strikes.

“They’re all dead. The next regime is mostly dead,” Trump........
