Dick Van Dyke Criticizes Trump's Election Victory

At 98, Dick Van Dyke humorously expressed relief that he wouldn't be alive to witness Donald Trump's second term as president, quipping, 'Fortunately, I won’t be around to experience the four years.' During an outing with his wife, he responded to questions about the election by acknowledging his hope for a bright future, despite his skepticism regarding Trump's capability to 'make America great again.' Just before the election, Van Dyke publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on social media, reciting a poignant speech he first delivered alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1964, which he felt was still relevant today. He emphasized the ongoing struggles against hatred and prejudice, connecting past civil rights issues to the current political climate. Van Dyke's reflections on aging have become a signature aspect of his humor, as he prepares to celebrate his 99th birthday on December 13.
