Calls for Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star to be removed - BBC News

There have been renewed calls for former US President Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star to be removed permanently.

The star has been replaced twice after it was vandalised, costing thousands of dollars to repair.

Trump's star was awarded to him in recognition of his TV work on The Apprentice, but some Los Angeles city officials as well as advocacy groups want it removed for good.

I think he’d be offended by any change to the golden star; iron, wood, concrete, etc. but those materials could have some good connotations so better to stick with shit, maybe with shreds of documents visible.

They charge artists for the privilege, last time I checked it was over $75K. I gave money for Adam West to get one a few years before he died.

Honestly, I think they will have to wait for that day or all hell will break loose with MAGATs making the pilgrimage to "defend" their messiah. Until then, they can greatly slow down their response to any "vandalism."
