Mark Hamill Mocks Trump With a Cutting New Nickname

Screen icon Mark Hamill called out Donald Trump for his “childish” habit of mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris’ first name, saying it conveys “disrespect & contempt.”

But rather than hope the former president comes around, the “Star Wars” actor suggested another approach.

“When they go low, we should respond in kind,” he wrote on X. “From now on, don’t call him ‘Don’. Call him ‘Done’.”

Trump has offered various and inconsistent explanations for why he repeatedly butchers the vice president’s name.

“Some people think I mispronounce it on purpose, but actually I’ve heard it said about seven different ways,” he said last month. “There are a lot of ways.”

Harris has said her first name just one way, but Trump and right-wing trolls have made saying it wrong into a thing. That led to her nieces offering a pronunciation lesson at last month’s Democratic National Convention,

Ultimately, however, Hamill has it right: Trump admitted last month that it was essentially an act of disrespect and contempt.

“I couldn’t care less if I mispronounce it or not,” Trump said at a Christian event. “I couldn’t care less.”

Screen icon Mark Hamill has openly criticized Donald Trump for his persistent mispronunciation of Vice President Kamala Harris’ first name. The “Star Wars” actor highlighted that this habit showcases “disrespect & contempt.”

Rather than hoping for a change in Trump’s behavior, Hamill proposed a different strategy.

“When they go low, we should respond in kind,” he wrote on X, suggesting, “From now on, don’t call him ‘Don’. Call him ‘Done’.”

Trump has provided various and often inconsistent reasons for why he continually mispronounces the vice president’s name.

“Some people think I mispronounce it on purpose, but actually I’ve heard it said about seven different ways,” Trump claimed last month. “There are a lot of ways.”

Despite these assertions, Harris has clearly articulated the pronunciation of her name in one consistent manner. This has not stopped Trump and right-wing media from making a spectacle of intentionally mispronouncing it.

This pattern prompted Harris’ nieces to offer a pronunciation lesson during the Democratic National Convention last month.

In the end, Hamill appears to be correct: Trump’s actions have been acknowledged as acts of disrespect and contempt.

He bluntly affirmed this stance at a Christian event last month, saying, “I couldn’t care less if I mispronounce it or not,” emphasizing his indifference.
