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.

-snip-

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.

He stands for women and domestic abuse. We need him here more than ever as trump defunds VAWA.

[Solly Mack]

Or at least his favorite stalker*.








*That was a joke for those who excel at the knee-jerk olympics.

[Thekaspervote]

13. Welcome Sir Patrick!

Your voice will most welcome in our struggle to survive as a democracy

[meadowlander]

15. Yes, and he needs to bring Ian McKellan

and get a flat and have a reality show.

[grantcart]

16. Well I am sure that they will get an X Men ban in place before he gets it done.

[cemaphonic]

17. He should pitch his movie idea to Trump

The one where women's clothes are constantly falling off.

[underpants]

27. Interesting

[pecosbob]

28. I'd vote for him for Senator any day.

[Kolesar]

29. Star Trek had great actors, and also had Whoopie Goldberg and that Riker guy

Frakes?...Neither of whom I could stand. I gave up on that show before the seventh season.

Brent Spiner was so cool.

[Ilsa]

43. Jonathan Frakes is a good guy, and I suspect

he's pretty liberal, buut maybe I'm wrong and have his twitter account mixed up with someone else's. He's been a pretty successful tv director.

[Kolesar]

44. Frakes just tweeted: 62 of the World's Most Beautiful Libraries, so he's alright

Maybe it was the writing on TNG that let me down. Or maybe I will never be nine years old again, dreaming of being Kirk, Spock or McCoy.

40. I think somewhere, even Picard himself is saying:

[Vinca]

31. My Canadian husband got his U.S. citizenship in order to vote against Dubya.

Don't mess with the documented aliens. LOL.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

33. This far! No further!!

[Nitram]

36. And to avoid being deported.

[kimbutgar]

37. I hope they don't deport him

Or stop him from entering the country for speaking out against chettolini.

[Initech]

39. Patrick Stewart is awesome! He could be an asset!

[Maven]

41. Stewart to Trump: You think with a financial statement like ZAT you can have zee DUCK? nt

[wryter2000]
