RIP Roddenberry
prevnextOperation: Warp Speed? That belongs to Star Trek! @realDonaldTrump is the personification of everything Star Trek was against. Try to RIP Gene Roddenberry.

Getting Stabby
prevnextThe fact that the Trump administration has co-opted the term “warp speed” as a name for anything connected with it makes the Star Trek fan in me want to stab someone.

No Kirk, Bones, or Spock
prevnextTrump is appropriating Star Trek going where no one has gone before in vaccine development with “Operation Warp Speed”. Problem is he has neither Capt Kirk’s leadership skills, Dr McCoy’s empathy, nor Spock’s objectivity & knowledge. Most absurd statement: “We have no ego.”

A Few Notes
prevnextFirst, to anyone making Star Wars references with regard to "Operation Warp Speed," you're confusing "Warp Speed" with "Light Speed" / "Hyperspace." 🤓
Second, Trump is anti-science. Why is he naming his propaganda after a Star Trek scientific achievement? 🤔#TrumpHasNoPlan pic.twitter.com/SkrplW4RVg

prevnextAs Trump brags about his new "Operation Warp Speed," someone has told him that Star Trek was pure science FICTION?

Beam Me Up, Scotty
prevnextFirst the Star Trek symbol was stolen, then Warp Speed. You know when Trump abruptly left the press conference, he was thinking, “Beam me up, Scotty.” https://t.co/3oOeXTVR6R

magical thinking with a Star Trek name that others are happy to get a paycheck for. It. Can't. Happen.
