Picardo is no stranger to attacking President Trump, back in November he claimed that “Trump has threatened to terminate the Constitution” on X.
Picardo has also taken shots at President Trump’s millions of followers saying they “thrive on fear mongering, calling Kamala Harris a ‘communist’ because she values working people and poor people over billionaires.”
He added, “Trump wants to appoint a vaccine conspiracist and medical moron as some kind of ‘health czar.’”

The Star Trek actor has also implied that Elon Musk is the President instead of Donald Trump.
He wrote on X, “I heart the president had an impromtu press conference today. Donald Trump was there too.”
Knowing he was likely to get flak, he attempted to paint it as a joke, “Everyone on X has a sense of humor, right??”
As for Presidents’ Day, the holiday was originally celebrated as the birthday of President George Washington and was celebrated on the 22nd of February.
However, in 1968 the U.S. Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved many holidays to Mondays. It was during this time that there was debate on whether the holiday should remain Washington’s Birthday or be renamed Presidents’ Day. Congress chose to keep Washington’s Birthday.
Nevertheless, due to various marketing campaigns from commercial businesses the term Presidents’ Day was popularized.
As for Picardo’s claim that the justice system was cancelled, it’s absurd in an of itself. The fact that he made such a claim indicates he is an unserious person only trying to take political pot shots in an attempt to sow division.

He's trying out for the job of "Star Trek's Mark Hamill".
"What does the aging actor who played the 4th best Star Fleet doctor character from the the 5th best Star Trek show 24 years ago think about politics?" - No one.
I'd recommend this way of thinking about all celebrities. (For what it's worth, he was my favorite character on that series).
