‘Star Wars’ Hero in Twitter War With Ivanka Trump’s Family

Sep 30, 2019  •  Post A Comment

A Twitter post by Ivanka Trump, which you can see below, sparked a social media feeding frenzy after Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill lashed out about the post.

The Ivanka Trump tweet, posted Saturday, shows her youngest son, Theodore, 3, dressed as a Stormtrooper from “Star Wars.” The post includes the comment “The Force is strong in my family.”

Hamill replied Sunday with a tweet aimed at Ivanka Trump saying, “You misspelled ‘Fraud,'” and using the hashtag #GoForceYourself.

At that point both critics and supporters of the Trump family, and of Hamill, began chiming in from all directions, as a full-on social media war broke out.

One Twitter user wrote in response to Hamill’s post: “It’s heinous to react like that to a picture of a kid loving his #StarWars cosplay. All because you hate the kid’s grandfather.”

Others were far more supportive of Hamill. Wrote Huffington Post contributor Kimberley Johnson: “I cannot love @HamillHimself more for this perfect tweet. #GoForceYourself”

Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko added his own caption to the Trump photo, writing: “Mommy, why does Luke Skywalker hate us?

“Because we are terrible, terrible people, son.”

Here’s the post by Ivanka Trump that got the ball rolling …

  1. Shouldn’t your headline read: Star Wars “Hero” in Twitter War With Ivanka’s Trump Family?

  2. Well Storm troopers are considered evil so it figures she would dress her kid up in the costume.

  3. Liberals should rot in hell for the way they treat the Trump and his family. We always treated Obama and his band with respect.
