Mark Hamill Returns As Donald Trump The Joker To Read Wiretap Tweets

"This is McCarthyism!"

Actor Mark Hamill  has made Donald Trump’s weekend wiretap tweets sound even more unhinged.

In a new audio clip, the “Star Wars ” star read the president’s baseless claims that former President Barack Obama  had ordered wiretaps on Trump Tower  during the 2016 campaign. Hamill performed the tweets in the style of the Caped Crusader’s arch-enemy “The Joker.”

It’s the character that Hamill himself voiced in the animated Batman series.

Hamill previously used his “Trumpster” alter-ego to mock the president’s New Year’s Day message and his tweets about “over-rated” Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep after she criticized him at the Golden Globes.

Check out Hamill’s portrayal of Trump in the clip above, and find out why he’s doing the impersonations here.
