Dave Bautista, widely recognized for his role as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, recently made headlines for taking jabs at Donald Trump during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Known for his outspoken nature, Bautista didn’t shy away from poking fun at the former president’s tough-guy image, which he mockingly deconstructed in a now-viral gym video.
The actor’s critique not only entertained audiences but also sparked discussions across social media, further solidifying his position as a vocal critic of Trump.
Dave Bautista Takes Aim at Trump’s Image
During the gym-themed video aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Bautista humorously criticized Donald Trump’s carefully crafted persona. With a playful yet sharp delivery, the actor questioned the credibility of Trump’s so-called toughness. Bautista opened with a direct statement, saying that many people seem to think Trump is a tough guy, but he is far from it. He remarked, “He’s not. Look at him. He wears more makeup than Dolly Parton and whines like a baby. The guy’s afraid of birds.”
Bautista continued by mocking Trump’s physical appearance, referring to his body in less-than-flattering terms. In one of his more biting remarks, the actor said, “Look at that gut—like a garbage bag full of buttermilk.” This comment was not just about Trump’s looks but a reflection on how he is perceived by his supporters, many of whom see him as a strong and capable leader.
Mocking Trump’s Past Actions and Behaviors
Bautista didn’t stop at Trump’s physical image. He also attacked Trump’s past actions and behavior, both during his presidency and before. In reference to Trump dodging the Vietnam War draft, Bautista pointed out, “Donald Trump had his daddy pay a doctor to say his feet hurt so he could dodge the draft.” The actor used this as further proof that Trump’s tough-guy act is just that—an act.
Another target of Bautista’s mockery was Trump’s notorious difficulties with holding umbrellas and drinking water. Referring to widely circulated videos of Trump struggling with these simple tasks, Bautista commented, “He’s barely strong enough to hold an umbrella. Look how he drinks water like a little pink chickadee.”
The video also touched on Trump’s actions that have garnered media attention in the past, such as his alleged cheating in golf and controversial involvement in beauty pageants. Bautista referenced these moments, saying, “He cheats at golf and creeps around beauty pageant dressing rooms.” This was a clear jab at the scandals surrounding Trump’s involvement with Miss Universe and other pageants, where accusations of inappropriate behavior have been made against him.
Bautista’s Sharp Critique of Trump’s Public Persona
Perhaps one of the most memorable lines from the video came when Bautista mocked Trump’s signature dance move, often seen during his rallies. Bautista joked, “You know that little dance he does? He looks like he’s jacking off a pair of giraffes.” The actor’s humor was blunt, and the crowd responded with laughter, showing how effective his critique was at entertaining while driving his point home.
Bautista also compared Trump to a “tubby toddler,” a phrase that encapsulated much of his critique. He noted that Trump often behaves like a child, having tantrums and pouting when things don’t go his way. Bautista elaborated, saying that Trump “behaves like a 5-year-old behind the wheel of a truck and bows over for Russian President Vladimir Putin.” He also added, “He’s cattier on social media than a mean girl.”
A Call to Action
Bautista’s gym video didn’t end with just jokes and insults. The actor concluded by urging Americans to reconsider how they view Trump, particularly those who see him as a strong leader. In his closing remarks, Bautista encouraged voters to stop buying into Trump’s image, suggesting that it’s time for the country to move on. He said, “This November, let’s stop fooling ourselves.”
Bautista’s final comments were a mixture of humor and a serious message: “Donald Trump is frightened of rain, dogs, windmills, Meryl Streep, and being laughed at. But mostly, he’s afraid that true, red-blooded American men will find out that he is a wimpy tubby toddler.”
Dave Bautista’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and his viral gym video have once again highlighted the actor’s ability to mix humor with political criticism. His playful yet pointed remarks about Donald Trump’s persona struck a chord with viewers, particularly those who have long questioned the former president’s tough-guy image. Bautista’s jabs, while humorous, carried a clear message that many Americans may relate to as political discussions continue in the lead-up to the next election.
