Robin Williams’ 2012 Trump Roast Resurfaces — Fans Call It Prophetic and Brilliant
A resurfaced clip of the late Robin Williams has gone viral once again, reminding the world of his unmatched comedic genius and fearless social commentary.
The footage, taken from a 2012 stand-up performance, features Williams delivering a sharp and hilarious takedown of Donald Trump, years before Trump became a political figure.
In the routine, Williams unleashed his trademark high-energy wit, targeting Trump’s failed casino projects in Atlantic City, his pageant ownership, his infamous hairstyle, and even his controversial remarks about his daughter Ivanka.
With his rapid-fire delivery, Williams painted Trump as both absurd and unsettling — a performance that feels strikingly prophetic in hindsight.
One of Williams’ most memorable lines compared Trump’s empire to a chaotic board game:
“Donald Trump is the Wizard of Oz — he plays Monopoly with real buildings. This is a scary man.”
The Atlantic City casinos, such as Trump Plaza and the Trump Taj Mahal, became the perfect backdrop for Williams’ biting humor. He described the city as looking like “The Wizard of Oz on acid,” a surreal landscape that mirrored Trump’s chaotic ventures.
Williams’ critique didn’t stop there. He drew a stinging comparison between Trump’s ownership of beauty pageants and Michael Vick’s infamous dogfighting scandal:
“Isn’t that a bit like Michael Vick owning a series of pet stores?”
It was comedy with teeth — hilarious on the surface, but loaded with uncomfortable truth.
And of course, he couldn’t resist mocking Trump’s iconic hair:
“That thing on his head has its own Twitter account… his body is just a maintenance system for the hair.”
Yet the routine also carried a deeper punch. Williams directly addressed Trump’s troubling public comments about Ivanka, quipping:
“When he said those things about his daughter, even people in Arkansas went, ‘That’s wrong.’”
This balance of laughter and unease is exactly what made Robin Williams so unique.
His comedy was never just about jokes — it was about revealing truths in ways people couldn’t ignore.
Fans React: “He Saw It Coming”
As the resurfaced clip circulates across social media, fans are flooding platforms with tributes. Many call the routine “eerily accurate” and “a reminder of how much we miss him.”
One fan wrote: “He wasn’t just funny — he understood people. He saw through the nonsense before anyone else.”
Another added: “Robin Williams wasn’t ahead of his time. He was right on time — we’re just now catching up.”
A Legacy That Lives On
Robin Williams passed away in 2014 at the age of 63, but his work continues to inspire.
From Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting to Mrs. Doubtfire and Aladdin, his range as both an actor and comedian remains unmatched.
But it’s in stand-up — raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic — that many believe we see Williams at his most powerful.
This Trump routine is just one example of his ability to make people laugh, think, and reflect all at once.
His words may have been delivered more than a decade ago, but today, they feel as sharp and relevant as ever.
✨ Robin Williams wasn’t just a comedian — he was a truth-teller in disguise.
