Patrick Stewart has said he is applying for US citizenship in order to "fight" Donald Trump.

On The View, he said that because of the recent election he has decided to apply for citizenship in order to join the resistance against the President.

“I’m not a [U.S.] citizen,”the actor 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,’” Mr Stewart said.

He made the comments after being asked about a tweet in which he wrote: "Had the worst sleep of my life last night. But I was sleeping less than 300 yds from where Donald Trump sleeps. Could there be a connection?"

When he was the brace captain on Star Trek I saw him once in a restaurant in Sherman Oaks. He was sobbing into a woman’s lap. Looked pretty wimpy. It also didn’t look like he just lost a loved one, more like he was crying over losing some part or something. Self absorbed.

Mister President, have your drones in D.C. shoot down the Enterprise on sight.

Go back home Stewart, if after all this time getting rich off of Americans, and you haven’t wanted to become a citizen. We don’t want you.

He’ll have to become a naturalized citizen before he can participate in a presidential vote. That can take as long as 6 to 8 years.

Good luck, Patrick.

He’ll have to renounce his title if he becomes a US citizen.

More importantly, what would Picard do if he WON?

The spoils of war are far too much material for him to adequately handle. It would go against his altruistic nature to continue to keep it, and being damaged, it would have to remain in his custody.

Possessions are such a bother. Who has time for inventorying, storage, management and actually finding a purpose for most of it?

Yes, I know all about his Sci-fi career. But damn H’wood to HELL, now I can never enjoy these mivies anymore because as soon as their stupid liberal faces appear, I am reminded of their hate towards me and my country. I liked X-Men until Huge Jackoff opened his fat mouth, now I hate him AND Stewart!.................

Why not just revoke his visa? No need to allow entry to someone who’s openly seditious.

Frazier is my favorite show of all time. I loved his character on the show, but no he’s not gay. He is a huge liberal, but I can separate the art from the artist. I actually saw Stewart last night at a premier of Logan. Great movie. Ultra-violent.

To boldly go where...no one wants you!!!

Trying to migrate to a country for the purpose of sowing seeds of sedition should be cause to refuse his request.

ICE & Homeland Security: Take note!!!

Another bloody socialist Brit actor sticking his nose where it doesn't belong...

I'm not talking about her effect on the series as a whole...but her command style.

Picard waffled frequently and always was concerned with if he was making the right decision or how humans would be perceived by alien species. A perfect example is how he handled the Borg in the episode, "I, Borg". He should have been drummed out of Star Fleet for failing to implant the virus in Hugh and decimate the Borg once and for all. Millions died because of his fine sensibilities ...thousands of humans at Wolf 359 alone.

Janeway's primary goal was always to protect her crew, her ship and humanity, in that order. She didn't take shit from anyone.

And given his age, if he’s got anyone to whom he’d like to leave his estate, he’s probably even more concerned about the UK’s confiscatory 40% (IIRC) death tax.

That’s funny. How’s this moron going to “fight” Trump? Is he going to zap him with his radar gun?

10 years from now, when he gets to be a citizen, Trump will be out of office.

Actor Patrick Stewart, 76, of Star Trek fame who is applying for American citizenship "to fight Donald Trump" describes himself as a socialist, a humanist, a feminist and an advocate of assisted suicide.

What a beneficial asset he will be to our country as a new citizen.......just the kinda guy we need to make America great again !
