She didn\u2019t respond right away but a week later she said, \u2018I\u2019m surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country.\u2019 That son of a b****, I thought. I\u2019m not leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 73-year-old star is hopeful there are still a number of &#8220;honest, decent people&#8221; in the US.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cI still believe there are more honest, decent people than there are the Maga crowd. If I didn\u2019t, I\u2019d move back to England.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMark is horrified by the decisions Trump has made since regaining the presidency but has decided to look at the situation as the plot of a particularly entertaining novel.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cThe bullying, the incompetence, the people in place\u2026 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.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMark is likely pleased he didn&#8217;t move away from the US because he is so content with his life, he was considering retiring until his two latest roles, in The  Life of Chuck and The Long Walk, came along.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cI was OK financially and really content with my family life. My three kids live nearby so they can visit. I love the dogs.  I love my wife.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I love sitting out in the backyard with one of the two or three books I usually have on the go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/mark-hamill-considered-leaving-donald-trump-reelected-1427908.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17 August 2025 Mark Hamill considered leaving the US when Donald Trump got re-elected.
