Actor Dick Van Dyke, who turns 99 next month, suggested he would happily not be around to see the next four years under President-elect Donald Trump’s second term in the White House.
While some celebrities threaten to leave the United States in response to the 2024 presidential election results, Van Dyke’s Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has taken an even more radical turn, with the actor saying he is grateful he won’t be alive to experience the 45th president’s second term.
“Fortunately, I won’t be around to experience the four years,” the Mary Poppins star said in response to a reporter who asked, “Do you think Donald Trump is capable of making America great again?” according to a report by Daily Mail.
After being asked, “Does the future look bright for America?” Van Dyke replied, “I hope you’re right,” while his wife reacted by saying, “Oh man.”
Notably, the actor endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in an Election Eve Instagram post in which he bizarrely likened the 2024 election and today’s political climate to the U.S. Civil Rights Movement by reading a speech he had originally delivered at an event with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on May 31, 1964. …

“If [he] would rather die, [he] had better do it quickly and decrease the surplus [liberal] population”.
Very.
Well Dick, don’t let the door hitcha where the good Lord splitcha!
If that.
So be it.
I watched it earlier, the guy approached him as he was getting into a car in a parking garage and surprised him and I was dreading some nasty comment but it turned out that he didn’t actually say anything bad, he handled it fine.
What a dick!
,,, Dick’s comment may have meant something decades ago.
And it’ll be any day now.
He’ll be dead soon anyway, either way. So what’s the problem?
He was always pretty stupid.
Where’s that Ottoman when you need it?
Many have succumbed to the psychological warfare enacted against them. It should be illegal.
It’s sad, I hope it’s dementia talking, which would be sad too,but at least it would be an excuse....

Your comment is both kind and appropriate. Plus who knows who has been feeding him propaganda over the years. That matters, too.
Also, from Wikipedia:
“Van Dyke left high school during his senior year to join the United States Army Air Forces for pilot training during World War II. Denied enlistment several times for being underweight, he was eventually accepted for service as a radio announcer before transferring to the Special Services and entertaining troops in the continental United States. He was discharged in 1946. Van Dyke received his high school diploma in 2004.”
That is honorable behavior, any way you look at it.
I guess it is “Well, bye” time then.
He can go to Canada, they will help him in this regard.
What? Are you speaking about the late Jerry Van Dyke? Whose daughter was trafficked?
Actors gotta act.
Your reaction is often their only payoff, once retirement begins.
