In a scathing segment aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live, actor and former wrestler Dave Bautista took aim at the perception of Donald Trump as a "tough guy," delivering a brutal takedown of the former president.
"A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He's not," Bautista began, while performing exercises in a gym. "I mean, look at him, he wears more makeup than Dolly Parton. He whines like a baby. The guy is afraid of birds." He also ridiculed Trump's dodging of the Vietnam War draft, adding, "Donald Trump had his daddy pay a doctor to say his little feet hurt so he could dodge the draft."
The segment, filled with jabs at Trump's appearance and behavior, included Bautista saying, "Look at that gut. It's like a garbage bag full of buttermilk," while showing an unflattering image of Trump golfing. Bautista also poked fun at Trump's dancing, describing it as "jacking off a pair of giraffes." He mocked Trump's inability to handle an umbrella and made crude references to the former president's behavior, further adding, "He's moody, he pouts, and he throws tantrums like a 5-year-old behind the wheel of a truck."
Throughout the video, clips of Trump struggling with simple tasks, such as drinking water with both hands, were interspersed to further emphasize Bautista's criticisms. "Mostly, he's terrified that real red-blooded American men will find out that he's a weak, tubby toddler," Bautista said. He concluded the segment with the pointed remark: "What's wrong, tough guy? Did someone grab you by the p----?"
The video is part of an ongoing effort to support Vice President Kamala Harris, who has struggled to attract male voters. Jimmy Kimmel introduced the segment by referencing a poll showing Trump leading Harris among male voters, asking, "But is he the strong Alpha man these men believe him to be?" Bautista, a vocal supporter of Harris, has urged his followers to vote, stressing, "Do your part, get out there, and vote. Your voice matters, and this election's too important to sit out."
The Trump campaign has not responded to the segment, but Bautista's takedown has sparked significant attention online.
