Mark Hamill, once beloved as Star Wars’ Luke Skywalker, has once again made it clear that his political activism overshadows his grasp of reality. In response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s disastrous White House meeting with President Donald Trump, Hamill took to social media in full meltdown mode, branding Trump and Vice President JD Vance as “a disgrace to our country.”
Hamill, who has long been an outspoken supporter of Ukraine, went even further, calling Zelensky a “hero” and Trump a “zero” in a dramatic post that read like a bad sequel to one of his sci-fi films.
But the real showstopper was his claim that “A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY” had just unfolded at the White House. According to Hamill, Trump’s refusal to bow to Zelensky’s demands had single-handedly shattered America’s global standing overnight. If that kind of hyperbole sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is.
HERO vs ZERO
I’m in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday’s shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, Ukrainian officials themselves are furious—not at Trump, but at Zelensky. Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Goncharenko called Zelensky’s behavior “absolute idiocy” and warned that he had “put millions of people at risk.”
Even staunch Ukraine supporters like NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Polish Defense Secretary Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, and U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are urging Zelensky to repair the damage he inflicted on his country’s relationship with the United States.
Yet Hamill, safely from the comfort of Hollywood, continues to lecture Americans about how they should be ashamed—not of a Ukrainian president who made veiled threats on U.S. soil, but of an American president who put his own country’s interests first. The irony is almost too much to bear.
The problem with Hamill and others like him is that they live in a bubble where supporting Ukraine is more about signaling moral superiority than dealing with real-world consequences.
They demand unquestioning loyalty to Zelensky without considering that Ukraine’s survival depends on maintaining strong alliances—not alienating its most crucial ally. Even Zelensky’s own backers are telling him to fix this mess.
