Vintage footage of Robin Williams making a powerful point about Trump goes viral
A resurfaced video of the late Robin Williams delivering a sharp and humorous critique of Donald Trump during a 2012 stand-up show is once again making the rounds online, and many fans are calling it “strangely accurate” and even “prophetic.” Williams, a beloved actor and comedian known for iconic performances in *Good Will Hunting*, *Mrs. Doubtfire*, and *Aladdin*, left an enduring mark on both comedy and cinema before his tragic passing in 2014 at the age of 63.
Beginning his career in stand-up comedy in the 1970s, Williams was known for his quick wit, energetic delivery, and fearless social commentary—traits on full display in the now-viral clip. Perhaps most cutting was his remark on Trump’s unsettling comments about his daughter Ivanka, which Williams said were so inappropriate that “even people in Arkansas went, ‘That’s f**king wrong.’
” Social media users have been quick to praise the clip, saying it shows just how insightful Williams was even before Trump’s political rise. Many expressed how much they miss the comedian’s voice, calling him not only a comedic genius but someone who had a deep understanding of human behavior.
One commenter noted, “He was one of a kind,” while another added, “His absence is still deeply felt today.” The clip has sparked widespread reflection and admiration, reminding people once again of Robin Williams’ brilliance, timing, and enduring relevance.
