Mark Hamill Shreds Trump's Ratings-Obsessed Pandemic Response With An Aptly Horrific Comparison

President Donald Trump and actor Mark Hamill aren't exactly on the best of terms, with Hamill regularly criticizing the President online.

This past Thursday, April 9, was no different.


After President Trump sent out a tweet preoccupied with the high ratings of his daily pandemic press briefings, Hamill eviscerated him with a comparison to a classic John Carpenter monster.

In his tweet, Trump lashed out at The Wall Street Journal for forgetting to mention how many people were watching his press briefings in a recent article.

Hamill was astonished the President could be so obsessed with his "ratings" while thousands of Americans were losing their lives.

Many people thought Hamill's comparison was unfair...

...to The Thing.



Others pointed out that, in a normal world, The Wall Street Journal would be on President Trump's side.

The President shouldn't care about his ratings.

He's not the star of a television show anymore—he's supposed to be saving lives and working in the best interests of all people in the United States.


They say any President's most valuable resource is time, yet President Trump spends two hours a day speaking to (and often misleading) the press.

This is not normal behavior for a leader in a time of crisis.

It's not hard to see why he acts this way, however—Trump cares more about being "popular" than about helping the American people.


Many online thanked Hamill for once again coming to the defense of common sense and the truth.

Throughout numerous moments of national hardship, President Trump has revealed the person he's most concerned about:

himself.


Why would a sitting President ever tweet something like this?

If President Trump wants to help this country, he should be spending more of his time working towards quick, widely-available testing, and less time tweeting about his press briefings as if they were a primetime television show.

Hamill's final foray long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, is available here.

The John Carpenter classic The Thing is available here.

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
