Old footage of the late Robin Williams making a \u2018profound\u2019 point about Donald Trump has people all saying the same thing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The veteran Hollywood<\/a> actor, who tragically died by suicide at the age of 63 in 2014, was infamous for his comedic improvisational skills and the variety of characters he could bring to life across films<\/a> and cartoons.<\/p>\n

Williams went on to win several accolades throughout his lengthy career, including an Oscar, Golden Globes<\/a>, Grammys and more.<\/p>\n

The Chicago<\/a>-born star cut his teeth performing stand-up comedy in the mid-1970s and kept on making us laugh from the stage well into the rest of his glitzy movie career.<\/p>\n

Now, footage of him discussing Donald Trump<\/a> from the stage more than a decade ago in 2012 has resurfaced again, which viewers have said shows how Williams was ‘ahead of his time.’<\/p>\n

In the clip, the father-of-three discussed spending Thanksgiving in Atlantic City which he described as like ‘Wizard of Oz <\/em>on acid’ with ‘junkies, pimps and pizza, oh my!’<\/p>\n

“And Donald Trump is the Wizard of Oz, he is the guy. He plays monopoly with real f**king buildings, this is a scary man,” Williams continued.<\/p>\n

The-then real estate developer had opened Trump Plaza, a hotel and casino, on the boardwalk in the New Jersey city in 1984, followed by Trump’s Castle and eventually the towering Trump Taj Mahal Casino in 1990, far before the businessman had tiptoed into politics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump Entertainment Resorts went on to file for bankruptcy<\/a> three times between 2004 and 2014, and eventually most of the gambling and casino spots in the city were closed and sold off in 2016.<\/p>\n

Williams, who wasn’t to know the demise of the company back in 2012, continued on in his sketch: “[Trump] owns all these beauty pageants, Miss America, Miss Universe… Isn’t that a bit like Michael Vick owning a series of pet stores?”<\/p>\n

The Virginia NFL<\/a> star had pleaded guilty for his involvement in a dog fighting ring in 2007 where he spent 18 months in federal prison before signing with Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> upon his release.<\/p>\n

Back to Trump, Williams referred to when Trump called his own daughter ‘hot’, jibing: “Even people in Arkansas went, ‘that’s f**king wrong. That’s just way out of place.'”<\/p>\n

“And that f**king hair,” Williams continued while using his hand to imitate Trump’s locks. “I believe the hair is the Donald. I believe the body is the maintenance system for the hair. He goes home at night, ‘we’re home’,” Williams said as he imitated the hair ‘walking away’ from Trump.<\/p>\n

Dozens have since marvelled at the resurfaced clip on Reddit<\/a> as one said it appeared ‘kind of profound.’<\/p>\n

Others said they still feel the stark absence of the comedian, writing how ‘he is missed’.<\/p>\n

“He will always be missed, and forever remembered for generations thanks to the wonderful works he left us and our kids,” another agreed.<\/p>\n

“One of the funniest most endearing humans to ever exist,” a third chimed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
