Recently, the Internet noticed more than a passing resemblance between the outrageous boasts of Donald Trump and those of Futurama's ace captain and romantic, Zapp Brannigan.

Voice actor Billy West, voice of Brannigan, has decided not to turn neutral on the matter. So he's taken to Twitter to post recordings of himself reading out Trump's most famous quotes, fully in character of Zapp. West was behind a sizable chunk of Futurama characters, providing the voices of Fry, Professor Farnsworth, Dr. Zoidberg and of course, the Big Z himself.

Have your ever wondered if Zapp has tiny hands? Or about his thoughts on global warming? Once Zapp Brannigan is involved in politics, every mission is a political suicide mission.

West has promised that there will more quotes very soon, and he's tweeting at Maurice LaMarche, voice of neglected assistant Kif, to help him by playing Mike Pence. But as to what those quotes will be, he's keeping them under wraps so far.

Which is smart, because as Brannigan once said, "In the game of chess, you can never let your adversary see your pieces."
