The White House ripped “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill as “one sick individual” after the actor posted an AI-generated image showing President Donald Trump lying in a shallow grave.
The graphic, posted to Hamill’s verified Bluesky page, showed Trump with his eyes closed beside a gravestone marked “Donald J. Trump 1946-2024,” while daisies surrounded the scene. The words “If Only” appeared above the image.
Hamill followed the post, which has since been deleted, with a lengthy message attacking Trump and predicting the president would ultimately be disgraced.
The actor wrote 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.”
.@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. pic.twitter.com/daJqcyssm7

“Long enough to realize he’ll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore,” Hamill added alongside the hashtag “Don the con.”
The White House immediately blasted the actor after screenshots of the image spread across social media.
“These Radical Left lunatics just can’t help themselves,” the White House press team posted on X.
If we want the assassination attempts against President Trump to stop, we need to hold filth like Mark Hamill accountable for posting a photo of a deceased Trump with the caption "If Only."
Bare minimum, the Trump FBI needs to pay Mark a visit.
Keep praying for Trump. pic.twitter.com/LI68zaFG92

“This kind of rhetoric is exactly what has inspired three assassination attempts in two years against our President.”
The administration also tied Hamill’s post to a string of recent threats and attacks involving Trump.
I watched this too many times.
Hey @MarkHamill he’s your President now. 🤣🤣🤣 @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/oS8c7UCdyu

Last month, a man allegedly stormed a security checkpoint outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner armed with a shotgun in what investigators described as an attempted assassination plot.
Trump was also wounded during a 2024 campaign rally in Pennsylvania after a gunman opened fire from a nearby rooftop.

Another man was arrested in 2024 after authorities discovered him hiding near Trump’s golf course with weapons.
That suspect was later convicted of attempted assassination. Social media users also piled onto Hamill following the graveyard image.
“I think Mark Hamill belongs in jail. He is using his notoriety to wish harm on the President. That only bolsters the crazed lunatics, who might act upon such a wish,” one X user wrote.

Hamill later deleted the post and attempted to clarify his remarks, insisting he had not been calling for Trump’s death.
“Accurate Edit for Clarity: ‘He should live long enough to…be held accountable for his…crimes,’” Hamill posted afterward.
“Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate,” he added.
The White House did not back off after the apology. Officials instead escalated the feud by linking Hamill to former President Barack Obama after the actor recently appeared in a video promoting Obama’s presidential library project in Chicago.

“Barack Hussein Obama just appeared in a video with this deranged lunatic three days ago,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital.
“Now this same person is calling for President Trump to die. Why won’t Obama and Democrats condemn this disgusting call to violence?” he added.
Hamill has spent years publicly attacking Trump and backing Democratic politicians.
The actor campaigned for former President Joe Biden and later supported former Vice President Kamala Harris.
He has also repeatedly mocked Trump online while comparing the president to villains from the “Star Wars” universe.
Earlier this year, Hamill posted that Trump’s arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was “illegal” and claimed it was designed to distract from the “EPSTEIN Files.”
“This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files,” Hamill wrote.
Months earlier, the actor joked about Trump constructing the Death Star beside the White House.
“I have a very bad feeling about this…” Hamill posted alongside an edited image showing the fictional superweapon towering next to the presidential residence.
Hamill has also accused Trump of stealing credit for a Middle East peace agreement.
Last October, he circulated a meme claiming former President Joe Biden secretly brokered the deal before Trump allegedly took credit for it.
“Months later they’re signing the exact deal Biden brokered. Don’t be fooled,” the meme stated.
The actor has openly admitted Trump’s return to the White House left him considering leaving the country.
During an interview with a British newspaper last year, Hamill said he discussed moving to either London or Ireland with his wife after Trump won re-election.
“The bullying, the incompetence, the people in place,” Hamill said while describing the administration.
“The only way I can deal with it without going crazy and wanting to open my veins in a warm tub is to look at it like a thick, sprawling political novel.”
He also mocked Trump’s rhetoric surrounding Greenland, Canada and the Gulf of Mexico.
“Making Canada a 51st state? Do you know how offensive that is?” Hamill said.
“And then taking over Greenland and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. The distractions are hilarious.”
Hamill later said his wife ultimately convinced him not to leave the United States.
“She’s very clever,” Hamill recalled. “She didn’t respond right away, but a week later she said, ‘I’m surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country.’”
“That son of a b—-,” Hamill added. “I’m not leaving.”
