George Takei responds to Trump's nuclear weapon tweet

George Takei responded to Donald Trump's tweet related to strengthening U.S. nuclear capabilities with a powerful essay on the Daily Beast. The Star Trek legend warned that Trump must realize that nuclear weapons are no joke, and must be viewed as the "literal dead end they are." "So it is with ever-increasing alarm that we must acknowledge that a man, who apparently lacks the self-control to keep his fingers from tweeting, now literally has those same fingers on the nuclear button," Takei wrote in response. Takei lost family in the deadly blast in Hiroshima, leaving his aunt and cousin burned beyond recognition.
