Dave Bautista's political views are no secret.

Unlike many of his wrestling colleagues, like Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash, Dave Bautista is not a fan of the former president — and he's been incredibly outspoken in this fact.

In the Jimmy Kimmel Live segment, Dave practiced boxing while criticizing Trump's masculinity and speaking to the politician's male supporters.

"Fellas, we gotta talk," he said. "A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He's not. I mean, look at him — he wears more makeup than Dolly Parton."

He continued, "Donald Trump had his daddy call doctors to say his [little] feet hurt so he could dodge the draft." While sledgehammering a giant tire for some manly reason, he took shots at Trump's appearance.

"He's got jugs. Big ones. Like Dolly Parton," he said.

"He cheats at golf," Dave continued. "He creeps around beauty pageant dressing rooms. ... He's moody, he pouts, he throws tantrums." And finally, Dave encouraged viewers to "stop kidding" themselves about Trump during the upcoming election.

"He’s terrified that real, red-blooded American men will find out that he’s a weak, tubby toddler," Dave concluded, using his own macho persona to poke holes in Trump's.

And as for his choice this November, the actor has made it incredibly clear that he has already cast his vote for Kamala Harris at the ballot box. On social media, he posted a photo of himself wearing a Harris-Walz t-shirt and walking out of his early voting location with a patriotic caption.

"Made my freedom heard," he said in late September. "Voting early took me 20 minutes — no excuses. 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." He also included the hashtag #LoveAmericaAgain.

As of writing, Trump has not yet publicly responded to Dave Bautista's scathing critique of his masculinity. However, because of who he is as a person, it seems unlikely that he will let his thoughts go unheard. And as someone who values his public image highly, he probably won't be thrilled about what Dave had to say.
