Patrick Stewart wants to become a US citizen to fight Trump: > **[Ready to engage: Patrick Stewart applying for US citizenship so he can...](https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/03/politics/patrick-stewart-donald-trump-citizenship/index.html)** > > Patrick Stewart is unphasered by President Donald Trump. In fact, the "Star Trek" captain wants to become a US citizen so he can "fight" his presidency. ---

As long as he’s learned to eat a slice of pizza properly, I would be proud and happy to have Patrick Stewart be a fellow American. [Patrick Stewart & Conan O’Brien talk about pizza](http://teamcoco.com/video/patrick-stewart-pizza-rumor). ---

Isn’t that a violation of the Prime Directive? He isn’t supposed to interfere with the affairs of more primitive cultures. ---

He didn’t have pizza until he was 22 years old; clearly a pizza culture is superior to a non-pizza culture. ---

One of the many benefits of voting for a great man like Trump was all the left wing kooks like Alec Baldwin, Miley Cyrus and Cher promised to leave the country if he won. Naturally being liberals, they lied and are still here. Now another one wants to come here? Why doesn’t he stay in the United Kingdom and fight Theresa May and Brexit so the European Union can strip mine it and put it into the Borg Collective like they have Greece, Italy and Spain? ---

**[Moderating]** **Jim’s Son** , while I recognize that a certain level of political commentary is inevitable in a thread like this, that goes too far. The topic of the thread is Stewart, not Baldwin, Cyrus, or Cher, and Trump, not Brexit. Furthermore, even within the context of Stewart and Trump, it’s hardly necessary to call anyone “kooks” or “liars”. Knock it off. ---

The United Kingdom isn’t about to benefit a StarFleet Captain’s star income with a huge fuck off tax cut. Be warned; you are about to get a whole lot of liberal interpretations of Shakespeare headed your way. Expect to see umpteen performances of Thomas More’s speech decrying intolerance against immigrants. ---
