‘Star Trek's' George Takei: Trump is the ‘biggest Klingon around'
George Takei is targeting President Trump with the ultimate Trekkie insult, calling the commander in chief the 'biggest Klingon around.'
'Change is constant and change will come,' Takei, a frequent critic of Trump and the Republican Party, said in an interview with USA Today published Tuesday.
'I'm working to make sure that we participate in making it a better, more responsible democracy,' said the 88-year-old 'Star Trek' actor while promoting his new graphic novel 'It Rhymes with Takei.'
'No more Klingons,' the LGBTQ activist said, referring to the science fiction series' villainous humanoids.
Takei, who said in 2019 that the U.S. had hit a 'new low' during Trump's first term in office, expressed some optimism about the future.
'The Republicans are starting to fight amongst themselves,' he told the paper.
His project with Steven Scott and Justin Eisinger and illustrated by Harmony Becker, details the story of Takei's 'life in the closet, his decision to come out as gay at the age of 68, and the way that moment transformed everything,' according to publisher Penguin Random House.
