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.
"We cannot turn our backs on what is happening in the upcoming election," the letter reads. "Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump."
The letter was signed by J.J. Abrams (director of the 2009 "Star Trek" reboot), Scott Bakula (the captain from "Star Trek: Enterprise"), Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry (son of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry), many members of the late Leonard Nimoy's family, and many more.

F most of Hollywood. These sick stupid ignorant jackasses have no idea where America has gone. Overpaid fools.
Trump for President.
The Prime Directive seemed to be a statement about globalist adventures and butting in where we don't belong. Logically, that's more in line with Trump's foreign policy than it is with hillary's disasterous misadventures as Secretary of State.
Hollywood people not making any sense. That's unexpected. (sarcasm)
Star Trek is FICTION, you dumb-asses.
Too many idiotic leftists think it’s real.

Obviously not. They’ve now offended half of their customer base, who will, from now on, be far less likely to spend money on their movies, television shows, books, and related gear.
Morons.
BINGO
They assume the stupid masses will keep paying
In the original series, whenever an exploratory party was beamed down to an unknown planet, it was a cinch some would get killed off. These were the expendables. Like the signatories of this letter.
rumor has it that the recent star wars jjabrams directed was so mired in stupidity that the suits simply told him “just copy the 1977 movie.”
FU Trek actors
Axanar Rules!!!!
In case Billy Mumy wants to get involved, Hillary’s a bad woman, a very bad woman.
Beam them up scotty, captain I don’t think the engine will hold!
First time I'd ever heard of a 'water closet'.
I bet Vic Mignogna and the 'Star Trek Continues' cast had nothing to do with this.

I always knew that “Trekkies” were a cult of imbeciles....
“Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump.”
This has got to be satire. The site personnel would be aghast if I posted what I think about the Star Trek universe.
Issue them red shirts.
such a relief, I ALWAYS do what Jolene Blalock tells me to do!!
