For many who grew up with Fred Rogers, the children's show host remains a moral compass of modern American culture.

President Trump was likely unaware that Latrobe, Pennsylvania, was Rogers' hometown when he chose to visit the city for a rally, but Trump's presence was significant for many in the community.

One Latrobe resident who made it clear how she felt about the President's visit was Joanne Rogers, the 92-year-old widow of Mr. Rogers.

During his lifetime, Mr. Rogers went out of his way to avoid talking politics in public, but Joanne Rogers told The Daily Beast she has none of her husband's constraints.

"Fred tried to stay pretty quiet about politics, basically because his program was for children."
"I'm alone now. I don't do a program for children."

She shared her frank opinion on President Trump prior to his visit.

"I think he's just a horrible person."

Rogers was asked how she would react if President Trump won reelection.

"I will probably go into mourning. I can't even imagine. I would feel so badly."

She also explained her strong feelings about Donald Trump.

"I think maybe the fact that Mr Trump seldom tells the truth. If he does, it's just a fluke, I think. But the fact [is] that I can't believe anything he says, not even the simplest thing."
"This man is pathologically ill. Mentally ill."

On the other hand, Rogers has very positive feelings about Trump's opponent, Joe Biden.

She said:

"I am a very big Biden fan."
"I think he's kind. I think we all need somebody like Biden who can give us little pats on the back."

Rogers doesn't understand why Biden receives occasional criticism for his physical closeness.

"I said, 'Listen, I understand that completely, I'm a hugger, and I would certainly want a hug from him.'"

As for Biden's age, Rogers isn't worried at all.

"Seventy-seven seems still pretty young to me."

It seems the Rogers family wouldn't be so happy about a visit from a neighbor like Donald Trump.

The 'La La Land' Poster Was Just Officially Edited To Fix Ryan Gosling's Bent Hand—And Fans Have Thoughts

If you've spent the last decade unable to unsee Ryan Gosling's oddly bent hand on the La La Land poster, you're not alone. The visual quirk became an enduring talking point among fans. And now, for the film's 10-year anniversary, it's officially been fixed.

The poster for the iconic 2016 musical has been subtly adjusted ahead of its theatrical re-release on August 16 to celebrate its 10th anniversary. While the original artwork shows Gosling's character, Sebastian, with his hand tilted downward in the famous dance pose, the updated version straightens it to mirror Emma Stone's Mia.
