There has been no letup in the reckless, over-the-top rhetoric on the left, despite multiple attempts on President Donald Trump’s life.
The latest example of such irresponsible action comes from Trump-hating actor Mark Hamill, who posted an AI-generated photo on Bluesky depicting the president lying in a grave alongside the caption, “If only.”
“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,” Hamill wrote.
The White House Rapid Response team slammed Hamill as “one sick individual,” while sharing the post on X.
“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,” the account posted.

Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, was forced to delete the post he shared less than two weeks after a left-wing gunman crashed the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in an attempt to assassinate Trump.
The unhinged actor offered the prerequisite non-apology apology: “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.”
Fittingly, Hamill appeared this week alongside former President Barack Obama in a promotional video for the Obama Presidential Center.
The words and actions of notable figures like Hamill serve to radicalize the left’s low information base, prompting questions about intent. Either way, it’s unlikely President Trump has seen the last attempt on his life.
Social media lit up over Hamill’s actions — here’s a sampling of the posts, as seen on X:

Mark Hamill knows exactly what he’s doing.
If you read the comments in the Bluesky thread, it’s inspiring many mentally ill individuals to fantasize about this scenario—and even call for it.
I’ve even had leftists calling for it in my thread this morning. Sick—and in some…

The rhetoric from the Democrats is not organic in nature, it’s a calculated and plotted attack on POTUS to in incite more attempts on his life, and it will continue until they’re held accountable. They hide behind the 1A, but it wasn’t intended to protect crazy people from…
