White House rages at 'sick' Hollywood icon over social media post

The White House spun out an enraged statement blasting "Star Wars" icon Mark Hamill as "sick" over a social media post he shared.

The 74-year-old actor best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the sci-fi blockbusters shared an AI-generated image on Bluesky that appeared to show the 79-year-old president lying in a grave beneath a headstone reading "Donald J. Trump, 1946-2026," and with a caption apparently penned by Hamill, reported Mediaite.

“If Only – He should live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms, be held accountable for his unprecedented corruption, impeached, convicted & humiliated for his countless crimes," Hamill posted Wednesday afternoon. "Long enough to realize he’ll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore. #don_TheCON.”

The administration's Rapid Response account fired back a response Thursday morning and accused the actor of stoking violence against the president.

“.@MarkHamill is one sick individual,” the president’s press team posted. “These Radical Left lunatics just can’t help themselves. This kind of rhetoric is exactly what has inspired three assassination attempts in two years against our President.”

Trump was allegedly targeted once again by a would-be assassin last month White House Correspondents Dinner, and a man was sentenced to life in prison earlier this year for an assassination plot against him in Florida, and Trump suffered a minor injury to his ear after an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania months before the 2024 election.
