Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, who also voices the Joker in animated Batman series, is using his take on Gotham's most famous villain to make Donald Trump tweets sound even more nefarious.
Hamill tweeted an audio clip Saturday of the Joker reciting Trump's infamous December 31st tweet, "Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do. Love!"
Hamill's Joker reading of Trump's tweet came following an idea seeded by comedy writer Matt Oswalt, who tweeted on December 31st of Trump's New Year's message, "This sounds like something the Joker would say right before releasing a swarm of killer bees into Gotham."

On Saturday, Oswalt tweeted, "BILLION DOLLAR IDEA: an App that you can feed every Trump tweet into that plays it back in @HamillHimself Joker voice," a concept that was endorsed by Oswalt's brother Patton Oswalt.
Soon after, Hamill himself tweeted to the Oswalts, "As soon as I figure out how to tweet soundbites, I'd LOVE to. Nobody writes better super-villain dialogue than #Trumputin! #KremlinCandidate." Twitter followers quickly came to Hamill's aid and the audio clip was created.
In addition to portraying Luke Skywalker, Hamill has long served as the voice for the Joke in animated series, films and video games, starting with 1992's Batman: The Animated Series and continuing as the Clown Prince of Crime up through 2016's Justice League Action.
Hamill criticized Trump throughout the presidential election season, employing hashtags like #PutinsPuppet #KGB4Trump and #TheKremlinsAndKKKsKandidate.

Re: Mark Hamill reads Trump tweet as the Joker.
I listened to it, and I am still like
"HOLY SHIT!"
I swear when you hear it coming from the Joker, it MAKES FUCKING SENSE.
You almost believe that if the Joker hadn't been dumped into the chemical vat, he'd have become a billionare real estate developer and would have become President of the United States.....
Or that maybe, in this universe, HE DID......

I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.
It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

I know. Its disturbing how well it fits.
Edit: Actually, in canon, doesn't "billionaire real estate developer who becomes President" basically describe Lex Luthor?
