Former President Donald Trump shared a rare post on Truth Social Monday, mere moments after the day’s proceedings in criminal hush money trial concluded, of a famous actor and vocal critic condemning the Supreme Court’s delays in his presidential immunity case.
“You may remember me, I used to fall down a lot on purpose,” a smiling Dick Van Dyke tells the camera. “Our Supreme Court has delayed any decision about our president’s immunity and at the same time they’ve stalled everything.
“Donald Trump’s path to the White House is pretty clear now.”
Van Dyke, 98, famously toppled to the floor in the credits of his 1960s eponymous television show — he also actively campaigned against Trump during his 2016 presidential election, saying at the time, “I haven’t been this scared since the Cuban Missile Crisis.”
When Van Dyke was recently asked whom he would support in the upcoming election, the actor reportedly said, “I want Abraham Lincoln.”
The former President faces four criminal cases, among them the Manhattan criminal court case ongoing in New York City and special counsel Jack Smith’s federal election interference case stalled as the Supreme Court considers Trump’s presidential immunity defense.
In an Instagram video posted last week, Van Dyke reminded his viewers of cable news coverage of the delay.
“Both of the cable network stations printed headlines, ‘Corrupt, our Supreme Court justice system is corrupt,” Van Dyke said. “And then nothing. Silence. Not another word…They dropped the subject as if it had been squelched.”
Van Dyke added, “I’m beginning to feel a little manipulated.”
One viewer appeared to agree.
“There is no Justice anymore since 45 (Trump) broke all kinds of laws and split this country apart,” replied elida_7. “Our Justices are his puppets and it really saddens me.”
