Dave Bautista in Jimmy Kimmel Live/image credit-Jimmy Kimmel Live!
In a fiery and expletive-laden appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, actor and former professional wrestler Dave Bautista delivered a scathing takedown of Donald Trump. In a pre-recorded video that aired Wednesday night, Bautista mocked Trump’s tough-guy image, taking aim at everything from his appearance to his personality, leaving no insult unturned. The video was a response to a recent New York Times poll, which showed Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris among male voters by 17 points.
Bautista Questions Trump’s “Alpha Male” Persona
The Jimmy Kimmel Live! segment kicked off with host Jimmy Kimmel citing a poll revealing Trump’s strong support among male voters. Kimmel then questioned whether Trump is truly the “strong alpha man” many men seem to believe. “Not according to one of the toughest guys I know,” Kimmel said before introducing the video featuring Dave Bautista, known for his physically imposing roles in films like Guardians of the Galaxy.
In the clip, Bautista appears sparring in a boxing ring, wearing a tank top, ready to challenge Trump’s macho image. “Fellas, we gotta talk,” Bautista begins, before launching into a two-minute tirade filled with pointed insults and visual mockery. He immediately questions how Trump has won over male voters, calling him a “whiny little b—h” and declaring, “He wears more makeup than Dolly Parton.”
A Brutal List of Insults
Throughout the segment, Bautista relentlessly mocked Trump’s physical appearance and behaviors. He described Trump’s stomach as looking like “a garbage bag full of buttermilk,” mocked his inability to hold an umbrella in the wind, and ridiculed his cautious walk down ramps. Bautista also pointed out that Trump had dodged the Vietnam draft by having his father pay a doctor to declare him unfit due to “little feet.”
The cutting insults didn’t stop there. Bautista even took aim at Trump’s infamous fist-pumping dance, saying it looked like he was “j—–g off a pair of giraffes.” He criticized Trump’s drinking habits, mocking the way he holds a water bottle, saying he drinks “like a little pink chicken.” Bautista also joked about Trump having “jugs, big ones,” further undermining the former president’s perceived masculinity.
Trump’s Fears: A Humorous List
Adding another layer of mockery, Bautista listed what he described as Trump’s greatest fears. Among them were some surprising and amusing entries: rain, dogs, windmills, and Meryl Streep. Bautista concluded the segment by labeling Trump a “tubby toddler” who is terrified of real, strong American men discovering his true weakness. In one of the most biting lines of the clip, he asked, “What’s wrong, tough guy—did someone grab you by the [BLEEP]? Whiny little b—h.”
Bautista’s Consistent Criticism of Trump
This segment isn’t Bautista’s first time going after Donald Trump. The actor has been a vocal critic of the former president, often using his platform to encourage voters to oppose Trump and his policies. In an Instagram video posted last month, Bautista urged his followers to vote, emphasizing the importance of action over words. Wearing a Harris pin and shirt in the clip, Bautista proudly showed off his early voting experience in Tampa. “Made my freedom heard,” he said, adding that the process only took 20 minutes.
Bautista has consistently used his social media presence to promote civic engagement, warning that the stakes of the upcoming election are too high for Americans to sit out.
Jimmy Kimmel: No Stranger to Trump Jabs
Like Bautista, Kimmel has made it clear that he’s no fan of Donald Trump. On his late-night show, Kimmel has repeatedly taken shots at the former president, often mocking his policies, behavior, and overall persona. Introducing Bautista’s video, Kimmel set the stage for yet another round of Trump-focused humor, reminding viewers of Trump’s significant lead over Harris among male voters before casting doubt on the image of Trump as a tough guy.
Will Trump Respond?
Despite the barrage of insults, Donald Trump has yet to respond to Bautista’s takedown. While Trump is known for using his social media platform, Truth Social, to lash out at critics, he has remained silent on the Bautista segment. With the election less than three weeks away, Trump has been focusing his attention on other matters, including his disdain for the media, particularly 60 Minutes, and his ongoing preparations for a potential rematch with Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race.
Given Trump’s tendency to react quickly to public jabs, some might find his silence toward Bautista surprising. However, with the election looming, it remains to be seen whether he will address the segment directly.
