This Actor is Becoming an American Just to Fight Trump

Professor X wants to bring his fight for justice and equality to the White House.

British actor Sir Patrick Stewart says he’s applying to become an American citizen so that he can oppose President Trump and his policies. Stewart opened up about his decision to apply for citizenship in the wake of the 2016 election on ABC’s The View Thursday.

“Maybe it’s the only good thing as a result of this election, I am now applying for citizenship,” Stewart said. “Because I want to be an American too because all of my friends in Washington said ‘There’s one thing you can do, fight, fight oppose, oppose! But I can’t do it because I’m not a citizen.”

Stewart is probably best known for his playing Star Trek’s Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men franchise. Stewart acknowledged that the UK has its own problems with the ‘Brexit’ pullout from the European Union, but encouraged others to speak up and stay politically active.
