Robin Williams 'Warned The U.S. About Donald Trump' In Resurfaced Clip

An old Robin Williams comedy bit is making the rounds online, and the timing has people talking. A resurfaced clip from years ago shows the late comedian taking aim at Donald Trump in a stand-up routine that referenced beauty pageants and controversial remarks. The video is now circulating widely as renewed attention surrounds Trump’s past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein following the release of long-awaited federal documents.

In the resurfaced stand-up routine, Williams delivered a pointed critique of Trump’s persona and business dealings. "Donald Trump is the Wizard of Oz," the comedian began. "He is the guy. He plays Monopoly with real f-cking buildings. This is a scary man."

But he didn't stop there. "And he owns all these beauty pageants. Miss America, Miss Universe. Isn't that a bit like Michael Vick owning a series of pet stores?" he joked, referring to Vick's implication in 2007 for running "Bad Newz Kennels," an interstate dogfighting ring on his Virginia property. "It's a f-cking catch and release program for him. This is a man who said, 'My daughter is hot.' Even people in Arkansas went, 'That's f-cking wrong.'"

The clip has been reposted alongside a caption that reads, “Robin Williams warned the US about Donald Trump and his links to Miss America Pageants and underage girls in 2012. Really should have listened.”

The clip’s renewed circulation comes as the Epstein files were recently released. President Donald Trump, who had a lengthy relationship with Epstein, is mentioned thousands of times in the files. Trump has never been accused by authorities of any wrongdoing connected to Epstein, and has said he parted ways with him in the mid-2000s because he was a “creep.” He has also denied any wrongdoing.

Before Trump’s presidency and Epstein’s conviction as a sex offender, the two socialized at soirées with Victoria's Secret models, parties in Palm Beach, Florida, and trips between New York and Florida on Epstein’s private jet.

In a 2002 interview, Trump referred to Epstein as a "terrific guy" and noted they shared an affinity for beautiful women, per PBS. Their relationship later deteriorated.

In 2019, when Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges, Trump told reporters he was "not a fan of his, that I can tell you. I was not a fan of his." He also stated he had not spoken to Epstein in 15 years, which would place their split around 2004.

Since then, Trump has made multiple attempts to distance himself from Epstein.

The resurfaced Robin Williams clip is also circulating at a time when Donald Trump continues to face legal fallout from civil cases involving writer E. Jean Carroll.

In 2023 and 2024, juries in two separate federal civil cases found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, resulting in a total of over $88 million in damages. The verdicts concluded that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll in the 1990s and subsequently defamed her. Those decisions were later upheld by an appeals court, prompting a November 2025 appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party," Trump said at the time of the verdict. "Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!"

Donald Trump has faced other allegations over the years. Over two dozen women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct ranging from unwanted kissing and groping to rape, with claims spanning from the 1970s to the 2000s. Trump has denied the allegations.

During their 1990 divorce proceedings, Ivana Trump alleged in a deposition that Trump "raped" her. She later clarified that she did not mean the word in a “criminal sense.”

In 2017, former "Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos filed a defamation lawsuit after Trump called her sexual misconduct allegations lies. Zervos later withdrew the suit in 2021.
