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. …

Fine by me, Dick.
Its funny they describe Reagan that way.....NOW. I remember what they said when Reagan was around....”stupid cowboy”....”warmonger”....”Ronnie Ray Gun” (boy, wasn’t that one clever), etc
After all, he supported Bernie Sanders in 2016.
This guy is still loopy...
As a job occupation, acting (entertainment) is highly overrated (and overcompensated) in the United States. Food preparation, plumbing, carpentry, electrical trades, and tent making are nobler.
Jerry?
Never heard that.
He was a severe alcoholic and in recovery. Friend of a family member.
This guy was so talented he had a show 75 years ago and hasn’t been given a job in acting since. Benny Hill was the only reason to watch that borefest Shitty Shitty Bang Bang.
According to his daughter, he was also a monster.
I enjoyed watching Dick Van Dyke movies and TV shows. His emotions at his age may be speaking for him or maybe his attitude is because he watches Joy Reid on a regular basis. /s. In any case, this is for you Dick:
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find
You get what you need
Ultimately, Dick and every person needs to put his trust in Christ and not in people or this world. Jesus is the Prince of Peace and His peace will be our peace when we get off our throne and embrace Him. Praying for Dick and those like him to be arrested by the love of Christ.
well.. bye.

“Its sad if he truly thinks that. Its disappointing to hear him like this.”
DVD has been a Democrat through thick and thin. All of his voting life. Proud to state in his autobiography.
So has most if the people he’s worked alongside, Mary, Ed Asner... the whole gang is/are/were Hollywood Marxist trash.
Not surprising we know Biden types like everything in the immediate family.Joe let that be known at the debate.
At his age he’ll probably get his wish.
Well ...Bye
That has to be one of the all time stupidest things anyone has ever said.
Ron Reagan said that even back in the 1950’s Hollywood was a deep cesspool. He said that Hollywood was always one generation ahead of the rest of America for it’s excesses and harm.
Shut up Rob
Then go ahead and sign off, Dicky boy.
Happy to know Ronnie sent up a warning flare. Good man.
What a Dick.
