Aside from Star Wars, Mark Hamill’s second most iconic role is as the voice of The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series. So after Matt Oswalt noted that Donald Trump’s New Year’s tweet sounded like something the Joker might say, Hamill decided to bring that idea to life.
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!

this sounds like something the Joker would say right before releasing a swarm of killer bees into Gotham https://t.co/SyKsCHvyuh

As soon as I figure out how to tweet soundbites, I'd LOVE to. Nobody writes better super-villain dialogue than #Trumputin! #KremlinCandidate https://t.co/jjVyRzWl7v

After a little technical assistance, Hamill tweeted out this delightful (and/or horrifying) recording of himself reading the tweet in his Joker voice:
The Trumpster quote #1#ANewJeersToast https://t.co/qZQEGU18r6

So far it's the only one, but since it's labeled "The Trumpster quote #1," here's hoping there will be many more Joker readings to come.
