Hamill later deleted the post and created another, which he called an \u201cAccurate Edit for Clarity,\u201d that didn\u2019t directly respond to the White House criticism.

In it, he said, Trump \u201cshould live long enough to... be held accountable for his... crimes,\u201d and added, \u201cactually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate.\u201d

Although wishing death on anyone or cheering their demise is generally considered tasteless and inappropriate, it should be noted that this is something Trump has also done repeatedly.

In March, Trump\u2019s response to the death of former FBI director and special prosecutor Robert Mueller was, \u201cGood, I\u2019m glad he\u2019s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!\u201d

In March 2024, the president posted a video on social media showing an image of a hog-tied President Joe Biden printed on the tailgate of a passing truck.

And just last month, he threatened the entire nation of Iran with genocide, posting \u201ca whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.\u201d

White House Calls Mark Hamill ‘One Sick Individual’ For Trump Grave Photo

POLITICS

The White House forcefully lashed out at actor Mark Hamill on Thursday after the “Star Wars” star posted an AI photo showing President Donald Trump in a grave.

Hamill, who has frequently taunted Trump,took to BlueSky on Wednesday and posted a pic of the president lying in a grave while the tombstone reveals he died in 2024.

The caption for the photo began, “If Only,” before proclaiming that Trump “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.”

“Long enough to realize he’ll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore.”

Since BlueSky is a relatively liberal platform compared with X, the vast majority of respondents had no problem with Hamill’s post.

The White House’s Rapid Response account on X, however, had a much angrier reaction:

.@MarkHamill is one sick individual.

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.
