One day after the series premiere of CBS’s Star Trek: Picard – which star and executive producer Patrick Stewart said would be a rebuke of ‘President Donald Trump and Brexit,” Trump unveiled the official logo for the United States Space Force, “the Sixth Branch of our Magnificent Military!”
Which looks… exactly like the Star Trek logo.

Except… the new logo is clearly based on an existing Air Force logo:
For those excitedly tweeting that Trump stole the Star Trek logo!!!!, the patch on the left was the existing Air Force Command logo.
