Star Wars actor Mark Hamill posted an AI-generated image of Donald Trump lying in a grave, accompanied by the text “If only,” on social media. Now, the White House has lashed out at the actor, calling him some not-so-charming things.
Mark Hamill, who starred as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy and later appeared in other films from the franchise, has once again criticized Donald Trump. However, this time, it backfired, and the actor ended up deleting his post.
On the social media platform Bluesky, Hamill shared an AI-generated image of Donald Trump along with a lengthy caption attacking the president.
It came just days after an apparent assassination attempt against Donald Trump during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton.
“If Only,” the actor began the post, showing Trump lying in a grave. “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. Long enough to realize he’ll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore.”
The post quickly went viral, and the White House responded shortly afterward. On Thursday, the White House press team posted on X, calling Hamill “one sick individual.”

“These Radical Left lunatics just can’t help themselves,” the post read. “This kind of rhetoric is exactly what has inspired three assassination attempts in two years against our President.”
Later, Mark Hamill decided to remove the image of Trump lying in a grave and added a follow-up remark.
“Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate,” Hamill wrote on Bluesky.
Mark Hamill has been a longtime critic of Donald Trump. He has spoken out against the president several times over the years, and when Trump was elected in 2024, Hamill said he had considered leaving the country for Ireland or the UK. In the end, however, his wife convinced him to stay in the U.S.
“She’s very clever. 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,’” Hamill previously told the Times of London. “That son of a bitch, I thought. I’m not leaving.”

It did not take long for the White House to troll the iconic Star Wars actor. They referenced Rosie O’Donnell, who famously moved to Ireland after the 2024 Presidential Election.
“Since Mark has decided to stay in the United States, he will get to enjoy the many wins President Trump is securing for the American people — and really, who can blame him for second-guessing a plan to move to the same place as Rosie O’Donnell,” the White House said.
