Patrick Stewart is so vehemently opposed to a Donald Trump presidency that he’s apparently paying people not to vote for him.
The actor shared a picture with his two million-plus Twitter followers this week that shows a seemingly homeless man holding a handwritten sign asking for money in exchange for a promise to not vote for Trump.
“Give me a dollar, or I vote for Trump,” the man’s sign read.
The X-Men star said he handed the man a five dollar bill, noting that it was “worth” the extra four bucks.
“Made me forget the humidity for a moment. Worth 5 bucks,” read Stewart’s tweet, that has since gone viral on the social media site.
Stewart’s post came a week after the English actor aired his grievances about how no one saw the “dreadful” presidential candidate Donald Trump coming.
“Well, of course, we had no idea that Dreadful Trump would be up to these antics that he is up to now,” Stewart told Vice in an interview earlier this month. “And I call them ‘antics’ because how could they possibly be taken seriously.”
One of Stewart’s latest roles, in the horror-thriller Green Room, sees him playing Darcy Banker, a nightclub owner who happens to a neo-Nazi.
Stewart says there’s some overlap between the role he played in Green Room and contemporary politics.
“I’ve been interested in and involved in politics all my life,” the 75-year-old actor said. “My first act of political civil disobedience was in 1945 during the post-war election, so I am interested in parties and groups. Particularly, in these days, we are confronted by extremist points of view and extremist actions, certainly since the troubles with the IRA.”

Throw Stewart’s worthless a$$ in jail.
I believe the rich are deeply worried about Donald Trump hurting their Foreign investments that they use manufacturing out of the country and ship into the country to be sold. So far the rich have bough everyone but Donald Trump. Even Mark Cuban is a Foreign investor. While the rich take our jobs out of the country, they are importing rapefugees, foreign visa workers, and illegal immigrants.
Saaaayyyy isn’t paying voters a FELONY???
Stewart isn’t an American, is he? I’ve gotten very tired of citizens of other countries thinking they have any say in America’s election decisions.
Patrick Stewart.....A proud commie since 1945.
At least the old hypocrite won’t last much longer.
Thought the same thing.
I told my daughter what this guy was doing and she said “why is this guy on the street? That’s brilliant!”
American are beginning to look like a real sick bunch of jackasses. We will be lucky to get Trump elected.
I just saw an old `Frazier’ (Kelsey Grammer) episode where Stewart played an aging queen. He must need work. Pathetic.
Violations of the Prime Directive will not be tolerated.
STFU Paddy, it isn’t your country !
Captain Pickard would have voted Trump and Patrick Steward secretly knows it’s true.
After the Enterprise had disabled the Borg Cube in its first attack against the Enterprise he failed to finish off the Cube.
He could have returned to Federation space with advanced knowledge of the Borg enabling the Federation to prepare for their attack.
He should have been relieved of command at this point.
“My first act of political civil disobedience was in 1945 during the post-war election”, he was 5 years old-what political civil disobedience, have a temper-tantrum
Might be a criminal offense.
Another stupid a##
Sad. Is the guy even American?
Actors truly wish they could take away freedoms from the lesser humans.
It is, and he should be charged with it. How long do you think an American actor would last if he gave a homeless guy in London a quid for voting for the UKIP (and filmed the act) ?
