The President's tweets are being redone as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Dukat. "A new Twitter account, @realRealDukat (so you know for sure that it’s real) has been rewriting all of Trump’s tweets over the past few weeks as if they were posted by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s primary antagonist, the Cardassian war criminal Gul Dukat. If there are any similarities between Dukat (a ruthless, self-absorbed, authoritarian leader determined to be recognized as being on the right side of history despite all facts to the contrary) and Donald Trump (the other guy), it’s up to the individual reader to decide.” Five lights, indeed.

That Dukat twitter feed is AWESOME. Really, they could just have randomy put Dukat dialog without forcing it Wretch-speak.

And NOW I want to rewatch DS9. For the umpteenth time.

" [in an automated message] Bajoran workers, your attention please. Your attempt to seize control of this facility is going to fail. You are valuable workers, and we wish you no harm. However, if you do not return control of this unit to your Cardassian supervisors, we will be forced to take action. You have eight minutes to make your decision. "
