The 2020 presidential race is warming up and with just over two months to go until the big day, famous faces are weighing in on whether Trump should have a second term.
Now, Mr. Rodger's widow, Joanne, has weighed in on what she thinks about President Trump, and let's just say that we don't imagine her singing the show's theme to him, well... ever.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Joanne Rogers, 92, said: "I think he's just a horrible person."
However, this wasn't the only unneighborly comment that Mrs. Rodgers made about Trump and she also described him as "pathologically ill "and "mentally ill."
Fred Rogers, who passed away from cancer in 2003, was apolitical and was famed the world over for his unfailing ability to recognize the good in everyone.
In another interview with The Los Angeles Times last year, Joanne admitted that she too had been fairly apolitical in the past, but she decided to get involved when President Trump came onto the American political scene.
"And I want to vote for whoever is going to beat Trump," she told the newspaper.
In her interview with The Daily Beast, Joanne said that she fully plans to go into mourning if President Trump is elected for a second term.
"I can’t even imagine," she said. "I would feel so badly."
Thankfully, Mrs. Rodgers did have some neighborly words to say about Trump's opposition, Joe Biden, and she gave him a compliment that Fred himself would have approved of.
"I think he’s kind,' she said. "I think we all need somebody like Biden who can give us little pats on the back."
Now, on the off chance that your memory needs refreshing, Mr. Rodgers had a wonderful ability to see the good in everyone.
Tom Junod, whose profile of Mr. Rodgers for Esquire in 1998 became the basis for the recent Tom Hanks film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood said he tried to imagine what Mr. Rodgers himself might say about Trump.
"He would say that Donald Trump was a child once too," Junod wrote in The Atlantic last year. "He would say that the latest Twitter victim or villain was a child once too."
