Star Wars actor Mark Hamill deleted an AI-generated image from his Bluesky account on Thursday, May 7, depicting President Donald Trump dead after facing backlash.

The altered image showed Trump lying in a shallow grave beneath a headstone reading “Donald J. Trump, 1946-2024” with the words “If Only” superimposed over it.

The post arrived eleven days after an alleged assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on April 25, when a gunman breached a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton as Trump and members of his administration were inside.

White House Fires Back

The White House Rapid Response 47 account on X condemned the original post directly: “@MarkHamill is one sick individual. 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.

White House spokesman Davis Ingle went further in a statement to Fox News Digital, taking a dig at Barack Obama. Ingle’s comment referred to a May 4 video in which Hamill appeared alongside the former president to mark Star Wars Day and the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.
