Iconic Marvel Star Rips Apart Presidential Candidate In New Viral Clip
If you’ve been keeping up with the ongoing 2024 presidential election, you’re already aware of just how chaotic, bizarre, and patently partisan the rhetoric has become across all sides of the political spectrum. In recent weeks, many celebrities, from Taylor Swift to Zachary Levi, have made their political affiliations known, with impassioned pleas to the American public to get out and vote. In a recent promotional video, one famed actor, Guardians of the Galaxy’s Dave Bautista, took things a step further by completely eviscerating Republican candidate and 34-time convicted felon Donald Trump’s “tough guy” image with a series of scathing insults.
It should come as no surprise that Dave Bautista has strong feelings about the former president, as he has previously used his platform to publicly support Democratic nominee and sitting Vice President Kamala Harris for the Oval Office.
The video, which was originally arranged as part of a Jimmy Kimmel Live segment, runs roughly 2 minutes in length. In it, Dave Bautista opens sternly, explaining, “a lot of men seem to think Donald Trump is some kind of a tough guy. He’s not.” From there, the Drax actor launches into a well-coordinated tirade, admonishing Trump on everything from his physical appearance to his political record to his overall temperament, which has been the subject of a great deal of scrutiny from Democrats and Republicans alike.

Bautista has also publicly expressed support for marginalized groups such as the LGBTQ community, which have suffered constant attacks from the Trump campaign, as well as Donald Trump’s political peers. Bautista is trying to dismantle any concept of Trump as a “man’s man” with his onslaught of insults, and we know this because that’s what he says right at the start.
Needless to say, the comments under the actor’s Instagram video expose a wide range of sentiments from American voters, including those who feel that Vice President Harris should utilize Dave Bautista’s comments in a real political attack ad.
As the video kicks off, Dave Bautista can be seen sparring in the gym, flexing his massive muscles, and hitting the heavy bag, all while compiling a list of Trump’s business failures, embarrassing viral incidents, and numerous social faux pas. Specifically, Bautista highlights Donald Trump’s history of dodging the draft to avoid fighting for his country, reliance on assistance to walk up and down small slopes, and even points to a cardboard stand-up of the 45th president, before likening his body to “a garbage bag full of buttermilk.” The former wrestler-turned-actor even humorously compares Trump to Dolly Parton not once but twice, arguing that he cakes on absurd layers of makeup and touts “jugs. Big ones,” much like the country music queen.
Dave Bautista closes out the video by lambasting Donald Trump for his supposed fear of things like the rain, dogs, and acclaimed actress Meryl Streep.

Others take issue with Bautista’s take-down of Donald Trump, arguing that the 34-time convicted felon is more qualified for the office of the president than the woman who worked as a defense attorney, attorney general, and US Senator before joining the Biden administration as Vice President.

He then laughs heartily at a fast-paced compilation of embarrassing Trump footage, which includes instances of Trump’s wife shunning him in public, his hair flying around in the wind, and a bizarre clip that sees the once commander-in-chief looking extremely awkward while donning a cowboy hat in a room full of donors. Bautista’s final words contain an array of expletives used to describe the controversial Republican, as a voiceover remarks that the ad was “paid for by guys who can still see their own d**ks.”
