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.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
