What should have been a cute family photo, ended in a political tweetstorm launched by famed 'Star Wars' actor Mark Hamill.
Saturday Ivanka Trump posted a photo on Instagram and Twitter featuring a photo of herself with husband Jared Kushner and their 3-year-old son Theodore, dressed as a Stormtrooper.
"The Force is strong in my family," the caption in the post read. Then Hamill piped in with his own comment. "You misspelled 'Fraud.' #GoForceYourself."

September 29, 2019 Hamill is a devout critic of President Trump, but was soundly criticized by a slew of people on social media for attacking the child.
What a cheap shot you sad bitter man.

September 29, 2019 Monday, Hamill retweeted and wrote "Agreed," to someone who snapped a smaller photo of Theodore without his parents and wrote, "Forget the parents...this kid rocks."
