A resurfaced clip of the late Robin Williams making biting jokes about Donald Trump is going viral, and fans can’t help but marvel at just how spot-on the legendary comedian was.
Well before Trump entered politics
Williams, who died by suicide in 2014 at age 63, was celebrated for his razor-sharp improvisation, heartwarming characters, and unmatched energy across stand-up, film, and animation. Over the course of his decades-long career, he earned an Oscar, multiple Golden Globes, several Grammys, and the lasting love of audiences around the world.
Though best known to younger fans as the star of Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting, and Aladdin, Williams never strayed far from his stand-up roots. And now, a bit from a 2012 performance, well before Trump entered politics, has people saying he saw it all coming.
In the clip, Williams riffs on spending Thanksgiving in Atlantic City, calling it “like The Wizard of Oz on acid; junkies, pimps, and pizza, oh my!” And then comes the punchline: “And Donald Trump is the Wizard of Oz. He plays Monopoly with real f**king buildings. This is a scary man.”
