A resurfaced video of Robin Williams has gone viral, showing the late comedian delivering a sharp critique of Donald Trump during a 2012 stand-up performance. The clip, once again circulating online, has left many viewers calling it both “strangely accurate” and even “prophetic.”
Williams, who passed away in 2014 at the age of 63, was beloved not only for his comedic brilliance but also for his ability to weave humor with pointed social commentary. His legacy continues to live on through moments like this, which highlight his fearless wit.
Best known for roles in Good Will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire, and voicing the Genie in Aladdin, Williams built a career that spanned stand-up stages, television, and film. His style combined lightning-fast improvisation with heartfelt observations about society and human nature.
The viral clip features him joking about a chaotic visit to Atlantic City, describing the atmosphere as “The Wizard of Oz on acid.” The crowd roared as he drew vivid comparisons that felt both absurd and strangely fitting.
In his trademark style, Williams likened Trump to the wizard himself, quipping: “Donald Trump is the Wizard of Oz. He plays Monopoly with real f**king buildings.” The joke highlighted Trump’s reputation for flashiness and larger-than-life deals.
Fans online have responded with admiration for Williams’ comedic foresight. Many note how his jokes, made over a decade ago, still feel relevant today in light of Trump’s political career.
The resurfacing of the clip underscores how Williams’ humor often transcended its time. He was never afraid to poke fun at powerful figures while still keeping audiences laughing.
Even years after his passing, Robin Williams continues to remind the world of the power of comedy—not just to entertain, but to illuminate truths about culture and society.
