The actor posted an AI-generated Bluesky image showing Donald Trump in a shallow grave beside a headstone reading “Donald J. Trump 1946-2024” and “If Only.”
Hamill later deleted the post and said he wanted Trump alive to face midterm defeat, impeachment and disgrace, apologising if the image was inappropriate.
The White House said such rhetoric had helped inspire three assassination attempts in two years, citing a 2024 rally shooting, an armed man near Trump’s golf course and last month’s White House incident.
