“Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill deleted a controversial social media post depicting President Donald Trump as deceased and later issued an apology after facing criticism online and from the White House.
The backlash began after Hamill shared an image on Bluesky that appeared to show Trump lying in an open grave beneath a tombstone labeled with the president’s name and the years “1946–2024.” The image included the caption “If Only,” which quickly sparked outrage across social media and among Trump supporters. The post drew even more attention because it came shortly after an assassination attempt connected to the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, making the timing especially sensitive.
Critics accused Hamill of promoting violent rhetoric against the president. The White House also condemned the actor’s post, with officials arguing it crossed a line during an already tense political climate.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle addressed the controversy in a statement to Fox News Digital, connecting Hamill’s comments to recent political appearances involving former President Barack Obama.
“Barack Hussein Obama just appeared in a video with this deranged lunatic three days ago. Now this same person is calling for President Trump to die,” Ingle said in the statement.
He also questioned why Democratic leaders had not publicly condemned the post, calling it a “disgusting call to violence.”
Hamill eventually deleted the image and replaced it with another post featuring a photo of Trump with windswept hair. Alongside the new image, the actor attempted to clarify his intentions and apologize to those offended by the original post.
“Accurate Edit for Clarity: ‘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,” Hamill wrote.
The actor argued that his original message was intended to express frustration with Trump politically rather than physically harm him. Still, the explanation did little to quiet criticism from some conservatives who viewed the original image as irresponsible given the current political environment.
