Dave Bautista just destroyed Trump with a diss aimed at one of his biggest fan bases: the manosphere.
Despite the disgraced ex-president’s dirty laundry list criminal convictionsadditional accusations and numerous political failures, some misogynists gravitate toward his unapologetic cruelty, seeing it as a strength.
It’s time for a reality check.
And Dave Bautista, who is an actor and retired professional wrestler, is here to deliver it.
Dave Bautista was a natural choice to insult Donald Trump
After Jimmy Kimmel noted how some men in recent polls claim to consider the disgraced former president a “strong alpha male,” he performed a skit by Dave Bautista.
In the video, the actor and retired professional fighter appears wearing boxing gloves in a gym.
“Guys, we need to talk,” he begins, addressing the alarming proportion of American men who see something strong and somehow valuable in Donald Trump. “A lot of men seem to think Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He is not.
“I mean, look at him, he wears more makeup than Dolly Parton,” Dave Bautista continues of Trump. “He cries like a baby.”
Although a video montage shows evidence supporting his claims, Bautista adds: “The guy is afraid of birds. Donald Trump made his father pay a doctor to tell him his little feet hurt so he could dodge the draft. Look at that gut. It’s like a garbage bag full of buttermilk.”
“He barely has the strength to hold an umbrella,” Bautista accuses as the video shows Trump struggling with an umbrella while it rains. “He has pitchers. Big ones. Like Dolly Parton. And you know that little dance he does? It looks like he’s masturbating a pair of giraffes.”
Dave Bautista Continues, Targeting Donald Trump’s Egregious Behavior
“He is temperamental. He pouts. He throws tantrums. He acts like a 5-year-old child behind the wheel of a truck”, he characterizes.
Bautista then proposes: “This November, let’s stop fooling ourselves.”
Ultimately, the 2024 presidential election could come down to thousands of votes in a few key districts in several swing states. The electoral college makes a mockery of democracy itself and threatens to doom our nation and the world.
Did Bautista do a good job? Well, yes. He did an excellent job in the skit, both being himself and delivering his lines. We would expect nothing less Guardians of the Galaxy, Duneand Riddick (2013) star. He’s a great actor.
The play contained elements of body shaming that, frankly, have no place anywhere in society. Donald Trump’s body is solely your business. Its opposition to fundamental human rights and the rule of law, its alarming history, and the terrible threat it poses to America itself are the relevant issues.
But Dave Bautista didn’t write the play. Neither does Jimmy Kimmel. And it may not be worth anything for the piece at least ostentatiously was targeting an audience – toxic, insecure men obsessed with pursuing patriarchal ideals that they are convinced will make them happy – who might respond well to such disappointing rhetoric.
