Vintage footage of Robin Williams making a powerful point about Trump goes viral

Robin Williams’ 2012 Trump Roast Resurfaces—Fans Call It ‘Prophetic’A resurfaced video of the late Robin Williams delivering a sharp,

humorous critique of Donald Trump during a 2012 stand-up show is once again going viral, with fans calling it “eerily accurate” and “prophetic.”

Williams, beloved for roles in Good Will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Aladdin, was celebrated for his lightning-fast wit and fearless social

commentary—traits on full display in the now-viral clip. Describing a chaotic trip to Atlantic City, Williams compared the city to “The Wizard of Oz on acid”

before turning his focus to Trump: “Donald Trump is the Wizard of Oz. He plays Monopoly with real f**king buildings. This is a scary man.”

The bit continues with jabs at Trump’s beauty pageants—“That’s like Michael Vick owning a pet store”—and

mocks his infamous hairstyle: “The hair is the Donald. The body is just there to maintain the hair.”

Williams also referenced Trump’s inappropriate comments about his daughter Ivanka, joking that “even people in Arkansas went, ‘That’s f**king wrong.’”

Though recorded before Trump’s political rise, the set feels strikingly relevant today. Fans praised Williams’ insight and timing,

calling him a genius who saw through the spectacle. His absence, many said, is still deeply felt—and his humor, as sharp as ever.
