Over the course of his decades-long career, he earned an Oscar, multiple Golden Globes, several Grammys, and the lasting love of audiences around the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><\/div>\n<p>Though best known to younger fans as the star of Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting, and Aladdin, Williams never strayed far from his stand-up roots.

He plays Monopoly with real f**king buildings. This is a scary man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Trump was still best known as a flashy real estate mogul and reality TV host. His name was plastered across casinos like Trump Plaza and the Trump Taj Mahal, most of which eventually closed or were sold off after repeated bankruptcies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\">\n<div id=\"readupdatednews.com_responsive_1\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23207117756\/readupdatednews.com\/readupdatednews.com_responsive_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Robin Williams on Donald Trump from 2012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kupZj_TN_XI\" width=\"664\" height=\"374\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"664\" data-origheight=\"374\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Williams kept going: \u201cHe owns all these beauty pageants; Miss America, Miss Universe.
