In a recent segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, actor Dave Bautista delivered a scathing critique of former President Donald Trump that quickly gained traction online. Speaking in a humorous yet pointed manner, Bautista questioned the common belief that Trump embodies masculinity.
While showcasing his workout routine, Bautista remarked, “A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He’s not. Look at him. He wears more makeup than Dolly Parton. He whines like a baby. The guy’s afraid of birds.” Bautista went on to highlight several aspects of Trump’s persona, implying that he is far from the tough image some project onto him.
He referenced Trump’s alleged attempts to evade the Vietnam War draft, made light of his physical appearance, and criticized his behavior, saying, “He’s moody, he pouts, he throws tantrums. He acts like a 5-year-old behind the wheel of a truck.” Bautista continued with a series of humorous observations, asserting that Trump fears various things, including rain and being laughed at, ultimately labeling him a “weak tubby toddler.”
The roast serves as both entertainment and a strategic message aimed at encouraging support for Kamala Harris, particularly among male voters. The video resonated widely, highlighting Bautista’s bold take on a polarizing figure in American politics.
