Sir Patrick Stewart has announced he's applying for U.S. citizenship to step up the fight against President Donald Trump.

The X-Menstar recently tweeted during a trip to Washington D.C. that he had "the worst night's sleep for years and years and years", joking that Trump was responsible for that.

To which Whoopi Goldberg said in response: "Not mine".

Then host Joy Behar asked if Stewart would be willing to take Trump off American's hands:

"We have our own problems -- we have Brexit."

"I'm not a [U.S.] citizen," he responded. " “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.
