Resurfaced footage of Robin Williams making ‘profound’ point about Trump has people saying the same thing

A resurfaced clip of the late Robin Williams making jokes about Donald Trump in 2012 has gone viral, with many praising his sharp insight and humor. The beloved actor and comedian, who died in 2014 at age 63, was known for his quick wit and ability to embody a wide range of characters.

Williams, who began his career in stand-up comedy in the 1970s, continued performing live throughout his career. In the old clip, he jokes about spending Thanksgiving in Atlantic City, describing it as “Wizard of Oz on acid” and referring to Donald Trump as the “Wizard.”

At the time, Trump was best known as a real estate mogul with several casinos in Atlantic City, including Trump Plaza, Trump’s Castle, and the Trump Taj Mahal. These ventures later faced financial collapse, with Trump Entertainment Resorts filing for bankruptcy multiple times between 2004 and 2014.

During the set, Williams criticized Trump for owning beauty pageants, comparing it to convicted NFL player Michael Vick owning pet stores—drawing laughter and shock from the crowd.

Williams also mocked Trump for once calling his own daughter attractive, saying even people in Arkansas found it inappropriate. He highlighted how unsettling that comment was.

He ended the bit by poking fun at Trump’s hair, suggesting the hair was the one really in charge and that Trump’s body just supported it.

Fans on Reddit have called the old footage “profound,” and many expressed how deeply Williams is still missed, remembering him as a comedic legend and warm soul.
