Dick Van Dyke Makes Grim Joke About Trump Presidency
Hollywood legend Dick Van Dyke, who will be turning 99 next month, recently made a dark joke about not wanting to live through another four years under Donald Trump’s presidency. In a paparazzi video taken on Tuesday, Van Dyke was asked about the future of America, to which he responded with a somber tone.
When questioned about Trump’s ability to make America great again, Van Dyke quipped, “Fortunately, I won’t be around to experience the four years.” This comment highlights the actor’s strong stance against the current political climate in the country.
Just a day before the election, Van Dyke showed his support for Kamala Harris by posting a video endorsing her for president. In the video, he recited a speech he delivered at a civil rights event in 1964 alongside Martin Luther King Jr.
Van Dyke’s message in the video emphasized the importance of unity and equality, stating that hatred and prejudice are not the norm. He urged for a better future free from intolerance and division.
Throughout the 2020 presidential race, Van Dyke supported Bernie Sanders and later Joe Biden. He has been vocal about his concerns regarding Trump’s behavior, describing him as “disturbed” due to his lack of laughter.
Despite his advanced age, Van Dyke continues to use his platform to speak out against injustice and advocate for a more inclusive society. His unwavering commitment to social issues serves as an inspiration to many in the entertainment industry and beyond.
