This kind of rhetoric is exactly what has inspired three assassination attempts in two years against our President.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Luke Skywalker actor posted what appeared to be an AI image of Trump on Bluesky, featuring the president in an open grave.

You\u2019re not the Rebellion &#8211; you\u2019re the Empire,&#8221; the caption read. <\/p>\n<p>Once more, Trump and his administration failed to fully grasp the cultural implications of the image, as red is the chosen colour of the villainous Sith Lords. Star Wars creator George Lucas once said regarding lightsaber colours: \u201cGood guys are green and blue, bad guys are red.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Hardly rocket science. <\/p>\n<p>As one X user pointed out:

<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">The Trump administration has lashed out at\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0actor Mark Hamill for posting an image on social media of Trump\u00a0dead in a grave. \u00a0The White House claims that the image and rhetoric inspire security threats. \u00a0\u201cMark Hamill is one sick individual,\u201d the White House wrote in a post on X. \u201cThese Radical Left lunatics just can\u2019t help themselves. This kind of rhetoric is exactly what has inspired three assassination attempts in two years against our President.\u201d\u00a0The Luke Skywalker actor posted what appeared to be an AI image of Trump on Bluesky, featuring the president in an open grave. The image included the caption \u201cIf Only\u201d and a headstone showing his date of death as 2024.\u00a0\u201cIf Only &#8211; He should live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms, be held accountable for his unprecedented corruption, impeached, convicted &amp; humiliated for his countless crimes,\u201d Hamill wrote\u00a0in an accompanying post. \u201cLong enough to realize he&#8217;ll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore. #don_TheCON.\u201d\u00a0Hamill deleted the image and issued further clarification: \u201cAccurate Edit for Clarity: \u2018He should live long enough to&#8230; be held accountable for his&#8230; crimes,\u2019\u201d Hamill wrote on Bluesky. \u201cActually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate.\u201d\u00a0The image comes after a man was charged with the attempted assassination of Trump in a shooting at the White House Correspondent\u2019s Association dinner last month. \u00a0Days after the shooting, Melania Trump demanded that talk show host Jimmy Kimmel be fired, as the comedian joked days prior to the incident that the first lady had a &#8220;glow like an expectant widow&#8221;.\u00a0Kimmel responded to criticism of his joke by saying it was merely a reference to the couple&#8217;s age difference. \u00a0Melania Trump\u2019s comments massively backfired online, with many accusing her of hypocrisy and pointing out a massive double standard, as Trump frequently lashes out with violent rhetoric and images aimed at his opponents.Recently, during the course of the Iran war, he posted an image of himself holding a machine gun and threatened that a \u201cwhole civilization will die\u201d unless Tehran agrees to his demands. \u00a0Last year, he shared an AI-generated video of himself bombing No Kings protestors and an AI image riffing\u00a0on the war film Apocalypse Now.\u00a0Elsewhere, and Star Wars related, Trump posted another unsual image on May 4 \u2013 Star Wars day. \u00a0The White House shared an\u00a0image of Trump\u00a0as the Mandalorian (with Grogu in tow, looking like he wants to be anywhere else). Trump holds an American flag in one hand (which notably has only 11 red and white stripes as opposed to 13) and is pictured without the Mandalorian helmet on his head (a big no-no in the Mandalorian code, if Trump knew anything about the cultural references he was riffing on).\u00a0&#8220;In a galaxy that demands strength &#8211; America stands ready,&#8221;\u00a0the White House wrote. &#8220;This is the way. May the 4th be with you.&#8221;\u00a0The post was met with backlash, with Star Wars fans blasting Trump.\u00a0&#8220;This has caused a major disturbance in the force today. Yikes,&#8221;\u00a0someone wrote online, while another said: &#8220;Please tell me there will be a lawsuit.&#8221;\u00a0This wasn\u2019t the first time the White House shared\u00a0Star Wars-inspired imagery of Trump. Last year, they posted an image of a distressingly muscular Trump holding a red lightsaber.\u00a0&#8220;Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, &amp; well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You\u2019re not the Rebellion &#8211; you\u2019re the Empire,&#8221; the caption read.\u00a0Once more, Trump and his administration failed to fully grasp the cultural implications of the image, as red is the chosen colour of the villainous Sith Lords. Star Wars creator George Lucas once said regarding lightsaber colours: \u201cGood guys are green and blue, bad guys are red.\u201d\u00a0Hardly rocket science.\u00a0As one X user pointed out: \u201cThe lack of self awareness and hypocrisy by calling the left \u2018the empire\u2019 while showing trump with a Sith lightsaber.\u201d\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/culture\/2026\/05\/08\/white-house-lashes-out-at-sick-star-wars-actor-mark-hamill-for-ai-post-of-dead-donald-trum&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/75\/11\/18\/1200x675_cmsv2_ccb7dc5d-f031-566d-8e61-762820b00e5f-9751118.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Airlines cannot add fuel surcharges after ticket sales, EU says Made in Europe Of robots and men: Europe\u2019s AI solutions aim to overhaul e-commerce Art France confronts Nazi-looted art legacy in new Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay gallery Indonesia Indonesia volcano eruption kills three hikers on Mount Dukono Europe News Airlines cannot add [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-1924825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1924825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924825\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1924825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1924825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1924825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
