Japanese American Star Trek actor and social activist George Takei has been extra visible lately in criticizing President Trump . He went on a day-long twitter rant blasting the president and his policies this week, reports Blasting News.
Takei included a link to a Vox article saying that the president’s friend and ally Christopher Ruddy, CEO of the conservative Newsmax brand, is urging Trump to ditch Paul Ryan’s Affordable Health Care Act. Ruddy says Trump “could inherit the bad political baggage of both Obamacare and the House Republicans” if he chooses to follow through with Ryan’s version of repealing and replacing Obamacare.
Trump could just ditch the GOP plans altogether and go with health coverage for all–which is what he campaigned on. https://t.co/Jyix1uHr8L

Survivor of a Japanese incarceration camp during World War II, Takei has always been very open with his opinions on political and social news through various forms of social media, with over 9 million followers on Facebook and over 2 million followers on Twitter. However, with the latest travel ban and the new budget and healthcare plans, Takei has been extra vocal on the latest political issues.
Trump's budget cuts 3200 EPA workers but adds 1500 ICE agents. America will be getting dirtier and nastier in many ways. Blue States: RESIST

After axing Big Bird and Meals on Wheels, Trump will nix Santa Claus and rainbows, neither of which has seen a strong return on investment.

Takei knows what he’s doing. And he’s proud of it, despite the criticisms he has been receiving.
Some criticize me for only tweeting about how I detest Trump. That's just not true. I often also tweet about how much others detest him.

The Trump Administration so far. pic.twitter.com/ryDPl0HKkw

I want to remind this administration that history will judge them, but I guess that assumes we will survive them.
