White House Slams Mark Hamill for Provocative Post Featuring Dead Trump
The Trump administration sharply criticized actor Mark Hamill for posting an image of Trump in a grave on social media.
The White House stated that such images and rhetoric pose security threats.
"Mark Hamill is a deeply unhealthy person," the White House said in a post on X. "These radical leftist lunatics can't help themselves. This kind of rhetoric has already inspired three assassination attempts on our president in two years."
Hamill shared what appears to be an AI-generated image of Trump lying in an open grave on Bluesky, captioned "If Only" with a tombstone showing a death date of 2024.
"If only. He should live long enough to witness his inevitable crushing defeat in the midterms," Hamill wrote in the accompanying post. "Long enough for him to realize he will forever be disgraced in the history books. #don_TheCON."
Hamill later deleted the image and clarified: "I wished him everything but death, but I apologize if that image seemed inappropriate."
The post came shortly after a man was charged with attempting to kill Trump during a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner last month.

Melania Trump demanded the firing of talk show host Jimmy Kimmel after he joked about her having a "glow like a future widow."
Kimmel responded that it was merely a reference to the couple's age difference.
Melania's statements drew backlash online, with many accusing her of hypocrisy, pointing out the double standard as Trump regularly makes aggressive remarks.
Recently, he posted an image of himself with a machine gun, threatening that "a whole civilization will perish" if Iran does not meet his demands.
Last year, he shared a video allegedly bombing protesters and an AI-generated image referencing the war film "Apocalypse Now."
Trump also posted an image in the guise of a Mandalorian, which drew criticism from "Star Wars" fans.
"Today it caused serious outrage in the Force. Horrifying," one user wrote.
This is not the first time the White House has shared "Star Wars"-inspired images of Trump. Last year, they posted an image of a muscular Trump wielding a red lightsaber.
As one user on X noted: "Astonishing blindness and hypocrisy — calling the left 'the Empire' while showing Trump with a Sith lightsaber."
