by EG
If you were a presidential candidate, would you want to compare your campaign to an evil weapon that's easily destroyed by amateurs? That's what the Trump campaign did when its campaign manager tweeted a comparison to Star Wars' Death Star. Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, was quick to mock the campaign's latest clueless pop-culture reference. Read on for details.
Mark Hamill had some thoughts about Trump’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, recently comparing the Republican president's re-election campaign to the Death Star.
