Dick Van Dyke is turning 99-years-old next month and says the one good thing about not having much time left is that he won’t have to endure another four years of President Donald Trump.
The legendary actor, who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris just before the election, was asked by a reporter if he thinks Trump “is capable of making America great again” and he responded, “Fortunately, I won’t be around to experience the four years. He was then asked if he thinks America’s future looks bright and he replied, “I hope you’re right.”
One day before the election, Van Dyke posted a video on social media showing him reciting a speech by Twilight Zone creator Rod Sterling. He read, “Hatred is not the norm. Prejudice is not the norm. Suspicion, dislike, jealousy, scapegoating, none of those are the transcendent facet of the human personality. They’re diseases. They are the cancers of the soul. They are the infectious and contagious viruses that have been breeding humanity for years. And because they have been and because they are, is it necessary that they shall be? I think not.”
