Legendary "Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill took to social media to mock President Donald Trump's ear bandage at the Republican National Convention.The bandage was of course covering a graze wound from a bullet from an attempted assassination of the president by a rifleman on a rooftop days earlier. Hamill posted an up-close photo of Trump as he was about to enter the main room of the convention, showing the former president with the bandage.'It's so depressing how lame Luke Skywalker is in real life.'"1st APPEARANCE of ludicrously oversized ear bandage, apparently not needed prior to tonight," Hamill wrote on his X account.The backlash against the actor was swift and forceful, with readers from across the spectrum reacting to his insult."You're a sad and pathetic person," said the owner of a gaming website."You ever got shot, Mark?" asked comedian Tim Young.You're a sad and pathetic person.— DDayCobra (@DDayCobra) July 16, 2024 "It's so depressing how lame Luke Skywalker is in real life," said outlet Not the Bee.Another influencer told Hamill that his "soul needs a bandage."It’s so depressing how lame Luke Skywalker is in real life— Not the Bee (@Not_the_Bee) July 16, 2024 Hamill was a recent guest at the White House and appeared alongside press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in the press room. Hamill told reporters that he called Biden "Mr. President," but Biden said Hamill could call him Joe. Hamill then said he asked if he could call the president "Joebi-Wan Kenobi."The fantasy-film favorite has been adamant in his support for the Biden administration while simultaneously showing disdain for President Trump.In March 2024, Hamill posted a photo of himself wearing an anti-Trump shirt. A caption to the photo read, "I voted for four more years of an orange-free Oval Office."Additionally, Hamill's direct interactions with Biden's X account have included responding to the statement, "Donald Trump is the worst president we've ever had," by saying, "Joe Biden is the best president we've ever had."He replied to the same statement again and called the Trump-directed insult the "understatement of the century." — (@) Hamill's mindset in his criticism of Trump's injury following a presidential assassination plot was analyzed by commentator ALX, who compared the mental toughness of the two candidates:"Donald Trump literally got shot two days ago and Mark Hamill is criticizing the size of his bandage. Meanwhile Joe Biden took a week off to go to Camp David for 'Debate Prep' but could hardly put together a single coherent sentence."Still, Hamill took another shot at Trump; but where his first comment was an observation, the latter appeared to be a misinterpretation of a photo of the former president with his eyes closed."For once, I'm with him," Hamill wrote, with a picture of himself laying down as well as the photo of Trump. Hamill was implying that Trump fell asleep at the RNC, however, readers pointed out that the photo was taken during a moment of prayer at the event.Like Blaze News?

Two members of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police motorcycle unit who were injured during the shooting that nearly claimed the life of former President Donald Trump have been transferred elsewhere, possibly as punishment for assisting with Trump's security detail without receiving proper authorization, according to an exclusive report from WPXI.In the lead-up to Trump's fateful rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, the Pennsylvania State Police asked the Pittsburgh police department to provide some motorcycle officers who could help escort Trump's motorcade from the airport in Allegheny County to the rally site and back again. The department offered 10 such officers.Some in the department were also apparently frustrated that the officers joined Trump's detail when first lady Jill Biden was also in town and needed security for her motorcade.Four of those 10 officers were wounded by shrapnel during the shooting that struck Trump in the ear and killed former fire chief Corey Comperatore. Despite their injuries, those officers were captured on video assisting others. They were eventually treated at the scene, though one officer did go to the hospital for further treatment.Days later, two of the wounded motorcycle officers — both of whom were supervisors — were transferred to other divisions in the bureau. One was assigned to Zone 1 on the North Side and the other to Zone 3 in Allentown, WPXI reported.The bureau contends that the officers never received permission to assist with Trump's security detail, though the officers allege that they did, sources told WPXI.Some in the department were also apparently frustrated that the officers joined Trump's detail when first lady Jill Biden was also in town and needed security for her motorcade. Without enough city officers, motorcycle cops from local universities were dispatched to assist with Biden's retinue.Thus far, the bureau has been tight-lipped about the reasons for the officers' transfer. On the order formalizing the transfers, Police Chief Larry Scirotto noted only that they had been made "for the good of the bureau.""This was an administrative decision made by the Chief," said a statement from spokesperson Cara Cruz. "Per the [Fraternal Order of Police] contract, I am unable to speak to the reasons behind the move as it involves personnel."Fraternal Order of Police President Bob Swartzwelder suggested that bureau leaders have focused on "petty" issues rather than support the officers who were wounded in the line of duty: "In a time when we should be honoring the heroics of these officers, we’ve created some petty administrative investigation in the midst of a serious political race."Blaze News reached out to the local FOP for further comment but did not receive a response.H/T: Sean Davis of the FederalistLike Blaze News?
