A resurfaced clip of Robin Williams joking about Donald Trump in 2012 has gone viral, with fans calling his commentary \u201cahead of its time.\u201d The late comedian, who died in 2014, mocked Trump\u2019s business ventures and persona during a stand-up routine, comparing Atlantic City to \u201cWizard of Oz on acid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Williams humorously described Trump as \u201cthe Wizard of Oz,\u201d joking that he \u201cplays Monopoly with real buildings.\u201d At the time, Trump was still a real estate mogul, years before his presidential run. The actor also poked fun at Trump\u2019s ownership of beauty pageants, comparing it to disgraced NFL player Michael Vick running pet stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The comedian didn\u2019t hold back, mocking Trump\u2019s infamous comment about his daughter Ivanka being \u201chot,\u201d quipping that even people in Arkansas found it disturbing. Williams also imitated Trump\u2019s signature hairstyle, joking, \u201cI believe the body is the maintenance system for the hair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The clip has sparked nostalgia among fans, with many praising Williams\u2019 sharp wit and lamenting his absence. One Reddit user called the routine \u201ckind of profound,\u201d while others shared emotional tributes to the beloved actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump\u2019s Atlantic City casinos, including Trump Plaza, eventually faced financial ruin, filing for bankruptcy multiple times before closing. Williams, of course, couldn\u2019t have predicted Trump\u2019s political rise\u2014or downfall\u2014but his jokes now seem eerily prescient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fans reflected on Williams\u2019 legacy, with one writing, \u201cHe will always be missed, and forever remembered for generations.\u201d Another called him \u201cone of the funniest, most endearing humans to ever exist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The viral moment serves as a reminder of Williams\u2019 unmatched comedic talent\u2014and how his humor still resonates today. Even a decade later, his takedown of Trump feels as relevant as ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
