| Former WWE champ Dave Bautista questions Donald Trump's macho image. |
OPINION
Former professional wrestling champion and Marvel superhero star Dave Bautista has a message for you men who can't bring yourself to vote for a woman.
Donald Trump is a wimp.
In a hilarious skit on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednessday night, Bautista destroyed the manufactured image of Trump as a man's man.
I'm almost 100% sure that Trump didn't find the skit funny because he can't take a joke. The skit is funny on its own merits but -- all jokes aside -- it comes with a little more than two weeks before the voting ends for President. Recent polls find that Vice President Kamala Harris is lagging behind Trump among men: White, non-college, men; Black men; Latino men and some Asian American men, too.
Instead of looking at the candiates' individual merits, proposals and accomplishments, many men just can't bring themselves to vote for a woman -- much less, they can't vote for a Black-Asian woman: A Black-Asian, intelligent, articulate woman, at that, who is head and shoulders above her opponent in character.
Some men might describe Harris is "uppity." and should be more demure, or not strong enough, or lacks toughness.
In the sketch, after a short boxing match, the muscled Bautista turns to the camers and says: "Fellas, we gotta talk. A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He’s not."
Bautista made fun of Trump's physique, the way he drinks from a water bottle with two hands and reminds us how he avoided getting drafted into the US Army in the by a doctor's questionable excuse of bone spurs.
He mocked Trump in the tone and language so-called "tough guys" like to employ to demonstrate their manliness.
“He’s terrified that real red-blooded American men will find out that he’s a weak tubby toddler," Bautista continued in the skit referring to Trump's infamous tape when he boasted about "grabbing men's p***y." because he's a celebrity. "What’s wrong, tough guy?" said Bautista. "Did someone grab you by the p***y, you whiny little b****?”
As you watch Bautista's skit below, check out his tattoos. He has the Philippine sunburst on one shoulder and other tattoos honoring of his Filipino heritage.

Unlike some other actors who don't want to offend their MAGA fans, Since the 2020 Presidential campaign when Trump was pitted against Hillary Clinton, Bautista began voicing his political leanings.
Back then, Bautista, who starred as Drax the Destroyer in Gaurdians of the Galaxy, called then-President Trump an “elitist POS” in an angry tweet, ”He’s never wanted for anything. He’s never had to fight or go hungry! He doesn’t know what the American Dream is. He’s a disgrace to everything this country is.”“How the hell did a lying, pampas [sic], orange, ignorant, cheap salesman tear us apart?” added Bautista.
Since then, the former WWE champion has not hesitated to share his political beliefs becoming one of Hollywood's most politically outspoken actors.
In an earlier social media post, Bautista taped himself casting his vote early. “Made my freedom heard. Voting early took me 20 mins — no excuses,” he wrote. “Freedom isn’t something we just talk about; it’s something we act on. Do your part, get out there, and vote. Your voice matters, and this election’s too important to sit out.”
