Actor Patrick Stewart Applying for U.S. Citizenship to Fight Trump
The Hill ^ | 03/02/17 | BROOKE SEIPEL

Posted on 03/02/2017 9:57:08 PM PST by nickcarraway

In an interview on "The View," actor Patrick Stewart said he is applying to become a U.S. citizen in order to help fight back against President Trump.

While recounting a recent visit to Washington D.C., Stewart said he had "the worst night's sleep for years and years and years," joking that President Trump might have been to blame.

Stewart referenced his tweet to "The View" hosts, calling it “fairly innocent,” and saying he “did not directly insult your president."

“Not mine,” Whoopi Goldberg said in response. When host Joy Behar asked if the English actor would be willing to take Trump off American’s hands, Stewart joked, “We have our own problems."

“I’m not a [U.S.] citizen,” Stewart said. “However, there is, maybe it’s the only good thing, as the result of this election: I am now applying for citizenship. Because I want to be an American too.”

“All of my friends in Washington said, ‘There is one thing you can do. Fight, fight, oppose, oppose,’” Stewart said.

I liked it when Mel Gibson bit half his nose off in that movie.

LOL...not to mention the fact that Picard couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag, so never tried to.

Here is how we know how well Trump is doing. If they give Stewart citizenship, Trump is not paying attention to the details, and more importantly, he does not have someone to pay attention to the details. And/or his agencies are still staffed with saboteurs disloyal to the administration. They should delay delay and delay for 8 years. He’ll likely be dead by then, and Jean Luc Picard will never get what he wants.

He shouldn’t be given citizenship if it is his intention to overthrow the U.S. Government.

we have met our quota of liberal actors here in America so, denied. Maybe apply again when you become a useful human being.

My esteemed daughter in law, (and mother to 2 of my grandchildren) is a naturalized U.S. citizen from Great Britain. She loves America as much as her husband and children. She is married to "Ace." She still has a lovely British accent!

Nope. Welcome to visit but then we want him to go back home. Citizenship DENIED. Besides it would take years for him to go through the process. He may or may not be alive by then.

Besides; we are way over our quota of dumbass leftists right now. Check back in 50 years.

His wife is American. Are we sure that has nothing to do with it?
