In an unapologetically frank open letter, published to a Facebook page called Trek Against Trump, "Star Trek" actors, directors, producers, and crew members expressed their political stance that Donald Trump represents the opposite of everything "Star Trek" stands for and should not be allowed anywhere near the presidency.

So the world of Star Trek doesn’t support Trump.
Are we to be impressed???
I’m sure the world of Harry Potter, or any other fictional worlds, likewise don’t support Trump. Are we to decide our vote in the real world, based on the fantasy world inhabitants, who take themselves and their fantasy worlds way too seriously?????

Not William Shatner though...too bad./s

Like what they think matters. Hollyweird people have an overly high sense of self.
We the working people of this country make this country run.
And we are about to demonstrate that !

In the original Star Trek, the crew of the Enterprise and other starships were to explore the galaxy but not interfere with cultures and civilizations they encountered. They often ignored their prime directive and bad things happened.
Just sayin'....

Interplanetary Law states clearly that the crews can make no politically charged statements without full cooperation of the Captain.
Lock them up.

A vote for Hillary is a conscious act of intent to destroy America.
Either that or you’re too stupid to be voting.

They're right. The universe of the Star Trek Federation is a socialist tyranny. They see Trump as opposed to that.
To: Salman
Star Trek stands for juvenile science fiction fantasy. Go Trump! President to be of “THE REAL WORLDERS”
