Mark Hamill Had Meltdown After Trump Win, Almost Left the Country But Wife Talked Him Down

Every election cycle brings the same tired Hollywood script. Celebrities threaten to abandon ship when voters don’t follow their lead. We get the dramatic proclamations. The tearful social media posts. The promises to flee to Canada or Europe. But here’s what kills me—this time, one famous actor’s explosive ultimatum to his own wife revealed just how far removed Tinseltown has become from everyday Americans. You know, the ones who don’t have the luxury of international escape plans when democracy doesn’t go their way.

Can you imagine having enough money to just pick up and leave America whenever an election doesn’t go your way? Most of us are trying to afford groceries. But these Hollywood types? They’re debating whether London or Dublin has better coffee shops for their exile. The latest celebrity meltdown comes from none other than Mark Hamill.

From The Post Millennial:

Star Wars actor Mark Hamill revealed in a recent interview that he gave his wife an ultimatum after Donald Trump was reelected president last November, telling Marilou York that she could pick between two European countries to move to: the United Kingdom or Ireland…

While Hamill may have decided to stay in the US, he doubled down on his disdain for Trump, suggesting that the president’s policies have made him debate taking his own life. “The bullying, the incompetence, the people in place…The only way I can deal with it without going crazy and wanting to open my veins in a warm tub is to look at it like a thick, sprawling political novel. It’s entertaining in a way because this could actually be the end. Our status in the world has been crippled, and that will reverberate for decades. Making Canada a 51st state? Do you know how offensive that is? And then taking over Greenland and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. The distractions are hilarious,” said Hamill.

But here’s where the story takes an unexpected turn—and honestly, it’s my favorite part. According to Hamill’s own admission to British newspaper The Times, his wife didn’t immediately respond to his demands. Nope. She waited a week. Then she delivered a response that cut through his theatrical hysteria with surgical precision: “I’m surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country.”

When Common Sense Prevails

That simple statement from York apparently stopped Hamill in his tracks. “That son of a b—-, I thought. I’m not leaving,” the actor admitted. Suddenly he realized how his dramatic exit plan would actually mean letting Trump dictate his life choices. Isn’t it remarkable how a spouse’s wisdom can pierce through the fog of political derangement? Especially the kind that seems to afflict so many in the entertainment industry.

Can you believe what he said? The man actually said “opening his veins in a warm tub” over an election result. The sheer melodrama shows just how detached from reality these Hollywood elites have become. While millions of Americans face real challenges—inflation, crime, border security—Hamill retreats into fantasy. He views the presidency as nothing more than a “political novel” for his entertainment. Must be nice.

The Celebrity Exodus That Never Was

Hamill joins a long list of celebrities who’ve threatened to flee America when elections don’t go their way. Few actually follow through, of course. Rosie O’Donnell claimed she moved to Ireland. She told Variety she won’t return until it’s “safe” and accused the Trump administration of “crimes.” Ellen DeGeneres reportedly relocated to the UK with her wife. Yet for every celebrity who actually leaves? Dozens more make empty threats they never intend to keep.

The White House’s response to Hamill’s tantrum was perfectly pitched—and I’m still laughing about it: “Since Mark has decided to stay in the United States, he will get to enjoy the many wins President Trump is securing for the American people—and really, who can blame him for second guessing a plan to move to the same place as Rosie O’Donnell.”

Key Takeaways

• Mark Hamill’s wife stopped his post-election exodus with one simple question
• Celebrities threatening to flee America rarely follow through on their promises
• Hollywood elites have luxury options regular Americans can’t afford
• True patriots stay and work for change, not run when elections disappoint
