The White House has called Star Wars actor Mark Hamill "one sick individual" after he posted an AI-generated image of US President Donald Trump in a shallow grave, alongside the caption "if only".
The image, posted on Hamill's Bluesky account, showed Trump lying with his eyes shut, next to a headstone with the inscription "Donald J. Trump 1946-2024".
Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars films from 1977 onwards, later deleted the post and apologised. "Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate," he wrote - BBC

@samith78 Blaming voters as ‘foolish’ just because you don’t like the outcome shows your own ignorance and stupidity. Maybe it’s not the voters who are the problem—it’s your inability to accept democracy and the fact that people think differently than you.
@munza14@anuradisanayake Your question doesn't relate to the president's post. Sponsorship or well-wishing for an election campaign isn't illegal or corrupt. Let's focus on current and future allegations for a better tomorrow.
@visitmaldives Receiving reports that Sri Lankan nationals are being deported and humiliated for no reason in Maldives Immigration. It’s a shame on those officers who are degrading their country standards.
