Dave Bautista recently delivered a scathing roast of former President Donald Trump on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that has gained significant attention. In the segment, Bautista critiques the widely held belief that Trump embodies toughness, challenging this perception with a series of notable remarks.
Training in a gym, Bautista remarks, “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 and whines like a baby.” He continues to highlight Trump’s perceived fears and vulnerabilities, stating that he is “afraid of birds” and suggesting that Trump relied on his father’s wealth to avoid the Vietnam War draft.
The actor does not hold back, humorously criticizing Trump’s physique, saying, “Look at that gut — like a garbage bag full of buttermilk,” and calling attention to Trump’s behavior, including how he drinks water, which Bautista compares unfavorably to that of a bird. He also mentions Trump’s entrepreneurial endeavors, like selling “imaginary baseball cards pretending to be a cowboy-fireman.”
Bautista’s remarks extend to Trump’s temperament, describing him as “moody” and “throwing tantrums,” likening his behavior to that of a child. He accuses Trump of being submissive to Russian President Vladimir Putin and asserts that he is much more concerned with public perception than being genuinely tough.
Concluding his roast, Bautista declares that Trump is fearful of many things, emphasizing that he is “terrified that real, red-blooded American men will find out that he’s a weak tubby toddler.” The segment, which appears to also serve as a strategy to help Kamala Harris appeal to male voters, has struck a chord with audiences for its humor and boldness.
