Dont Call Him Don: Mark Hamill Taunts Trump With A Biting New First Name

The Star Wars actor offered a way to respond in kind to the former president.
|

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, dont call him Don. Call him Done. 

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

Some people think I mispronounce it on purpose, but actually, Ive 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 months Democratic National Convention, 

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

I couldnt care less if I mispronounce it or not, Trump said at a Christian event . I couldnt care less.
