Mark Hamill has had quite the career. He’s a Star Wars legend, he’s played the Joker in numerous Batman-related animated shows and he’s all around hilarious, but his greatest late-career act may be political agitator.
While he’s never really been shy about his political opinions, he took his distaste with the Trump campaign to new levels of zing. Today he shot at Trump by screenshotting a tweet from defeated MAGA and election denying Arizona governor candidate Keri Lake.
“President Trump announces his ’24 Presidential run,” Lake said. “He was my complete and total endorsement!”
Hamill put his own spin on her tweet: “President Trump announces his ’24 Presidential run. He is a complete and total embarrassment!” The tweet had almost 8.5K likes as of this writing.
One of the first comments was a page out of Trump’s playbook. Just divert attention to someone else. “Not as bad as what’s in office now.” Someone replied with a meme.
Some people made some fun Star Wars references.
There’s also the fact that Lake is technically a loser (of the election) so in essence her endorsement doesn’t carry many stones, as someone pointed out.
Hamill has been on top of this since the beginning. As soon as the announcement was made he was locked and loaded with a response.
Back in 2017 when Trump had just been inaugurated, Hamill read a series of tweets from Trump as the Joker. Who knows, he could even bring that back. It feels like Hamill is obviously just getting started here.
