Had the worst sleep of my life last night. But I was sleeping less than 300 yds from where Donald Trump sleeps. Could there be a connection? — Patrick Stewart (@SirPatStew) February 10, 2017

“Not mine,” Whoopi Goldberg said in response.

When host Joy Behar asked if the English actor would be willing to take Trump off America’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.
