Star Wars icon Mark Hamill perfectly redefined what "MAGA" stands for after a video from 2019 showing former President Donald Trump awkwardly trying to get a kiss from a college student resurfaced.

The moment was captured during Trump's appearance at that year's Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, a prominent gathering of young conservatives spearheaded by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. At the time, C-SPAN noted in a caption that Trump "Pulls girl toward himself and tries to get a kiss."

The video resurfaced and went viral on X, formerly Twitter.

It was later shared by Parkland shooting survivor and gun control activist David Hogg, to which Hamill responded:

"MAGA: Making All Gag Again."

Many appeared to appreciate the new acronym because they were similarly grossed out.


Hamill's latest jab at Trump is fitting considering he has a long history of criticizing the former president.

Many on the right have a special disdain for Hamill, an outspoken liberal activist who has made headlines for criticizing Trump and the GOP on a regular basis.

In April, Hamill was attacked by Trump fans after mocking Trump's history of verbal flubs. Hamill said Trump's "frequent verbal catastrophes" make it difficult to take the former president seriously when he spends considerable time recovering from his own gaffes.

Hamill has also jabbed Trump over claims he would present evidence of election fraud. After Trump—who has failed to present any evidence to support his "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was stolen from him—Hamill teased Trump's suggestion that there is an "irrefutable report" that will exonerate him.

Most recently, Hamill called out Trump after the former president "jokingly" told his supporters, "I don't care about you. I just want your vote." Hamill later observed that Trump had "accidentally" told the truth about what he thinks about his own supporters.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
