Mark Hamill is under fire after mocking Donald Trump's bandaged ear online. During a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump was targeted in an assassination attempt, leaving him with an injured ear. Despite the danger, Trump attended the Republican National Convention with a large bandage over his ear.

Hamill took to X (formerly Twitter) to ridicule Trump, referencing a joke from the TV show Succession. His post garnered 3.5 million views and thousands of angry comments, criticizing the Star Wars actor for his lack of empathy.

Known for his outspoken liberal views and support for President Joe Biden, Hamill's latest jab at Trump was seen as particularly tasteless given the context. Trump supporter Corey Comperatore tragically died protecting his family during the shooting, adding to the gravity of Hamill's insensitive joke.

Critics lambasted Hamill on social media, with some accusing him of galvanizing support for Trump. Radio host Anthony Cumia expressed his disappointment, and others echoed the sentiment, calling Hamill's remarks "classless" and "evil."

Despite the attack, Trump made a triumphant return to the public eye at the RNC, receiving a warm welcome from supporters. Hamill's comments, however, have left many questioning his judgment and humanity.
