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 hell be disgraced in the history books, forevermore. #don_TheCON.

(2,353 posts)I don't think it matters to him whether or not he is favorably written about, as long as his name gets mentioned more than anyone else.
Fame versus infamy, it's all the same to him.
Construction versus destruction, whatever, as long as he did it.

(14,178 posts)I'm posting it here because the story got it wrong. The tombstone lists 1946-2024, not 2026, so it's just satire unrelated to the alleged assassination attempt.

So Mark Hamill is suggesting that Chump shouldn't die before he gets his true come-uppance, loss, impeachment, humiliation, etc. I don't know, it seems that Hamill deserves to be thanked for this.

"He should live long enough to... be held accountable for his... crimes."
Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate.

(537 posts)I get the point that he should live so long as to serve a prison term.
Likelihood?
At the same time, all those who don't wish/hope/pray/yearn for his death, raise your hand.
