In infuriating news of the day, Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to ban transgender service members to openly serve in the military, reversing the Pentagon's previous repeal in 2016.

Many people have reacted strongly to the Wednesday morning tweets, condemning Trump's ban of transgender individuals from serving the country—including Star Trek actor and LGBTQ rights activist George Takei, who had some scathing words for the president.

"History shall record that you are not only the stupidest, most incompetent president ever, but also the cruelest and pettiest," he wrote on Twitter, throwing in a #Shame to get his bitting point across.

"Trump is banning all transgenders from the military. To those who believed Trump would be a friend to LGBTs, time to admit you were conned," Takei then tweeted. "Donald: With your ban on trans people from the military, you are on notice that you just pissed off the wrong community. You will regret it," he wrote, before also poking Merriam Webster awake for some Twitter trolling.

This is far from the first time Takei has tweeted his thoughts about the Trump administration, and unfortunately, we have a feeling it will not be the last.
