Dave Bautista Hilariously Roasts Donald Trump for Wearing More Makeup Than Dolly Parton

In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, actor Dave Bautista humorously took aim at Donald Trump and the men who view him as the standard of a “tough guy.”

Since entering the political arena in 2016, Trump has significantly propagated the notion of toxic masculinity among American men. Many young boys and men regard him as a “real man”or “tough guy”due to his seemingly boundless escapades. Even as a convicted felon with accusations of sexual misconduct and inciting violence, his candidacy for the presidency continues unhindered. From the Capitol riots to his negligence of COVID-19 safety measures, Trump’s influence has emboldened his male followers to act defiantly against democratic values. His rhetoric often undermines women’s rights while stoking racism and homophobia, feeding into a dangerous desire among men to assert their dominance and superiority in society.

At the same time, MAGA supporters like Matt Walsh label it “gay”for men to appreciate their partners or give them meaningful gifts. Greg Gutfeld even suggests that voting for Kamala Harris to protect vulnerable communities somehow disqualifies you from being a “real man.”Their admiration for Trump manifests in exaggerated displays of masculinity, but ironically, they fail to recognize how far removed Trump is from the traditional archetype of masculinity they themselves champion.

In a comedic segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Bautista vented about those who brand Trump as “tough,”stripping away the farcical label and revealing him as nothing more than “a weak, tubby toddler.” With a background as a former WWE wrestler, MMA fighter, and action hero, Bautista’s understanding of toughness feels much more legitimate compared to figures like Walsh and Gutfeld.

While demonstrating his own strength and agility through various physical challenges, Bautista highlighted Trump’s shortcomings, ridicule including how “he wears more makeup than Dolly Parton,” emphasizing the stark contrast of Trump’s heavy bronzer to Parton’s glam. Bautista meticulously scrutinized Trump’s “whining”and how he used family connections to dodge military service, revealing how the former president cannot even manage the simplest tasks, like holding an umbrella.

Bautista continued to elaborate on Trump’s numerous failures in embodying masculinity, mocking the way Trump drinks water like “a little pink chickadee,” his lack of integrity in golf, and his awkward dance moves that resemble “jerking off a pair of giraffes.” He pointed out Trump’s childish behavior and abundant fears, highlighting how exposed he is as a fraud in front of “real red-blooded American men.” Bautista capped it off with a mic drop moment, taunting Trump with, “What’s wrong, tough guy? Did someone grab you by the p*ssy? Whiny b*tch.” The audience erupted into applause and cheers.

The skit was a clever critique, effectively challenging the stereotypes of masculinity that are often espoused by MAGA supporters. It is essential to note that attributes like weight and makeup do not define one’s toughness or masculinity. However, given the relentless derision aimed at people’s appearances by MAGA men, Bautista’s confrontation was a bold reminder to hold their heroes accountable. Ultimately, his performance reiterates that one’s political ideology is not indicative of true masculinity or strength—considering that a supposedly fragile individual is bearing the Republican nomination while the former WWE star is endorsing Kamala Harris.
