We wonder if the Secret Service has been notified yet, or perhaps Trump’s producers from The Apprentice?
Someone took a pickaxe to the president’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, reportedly at around 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday, leaving a pile of rubble and the instrument of destruction behind, perhaps as they thought it’d be more photogenic.
Though it’s not the first time the pink stone star has been vandalized — it had previously undergone restoration after a 2016 incident — in this particular instance the vandal appears to have obliterated it.
Local media reports say there are witnesses, now talking to police, who describe a male stopping at the star located along Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue. He took out a pickaxe which had been concealed in a guitar case and quickly went to work.
The star-smashing suspect has reportedly turned himself into police after notifying them of the incident, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
One witness, David Palmer, told NBC4 news: “I’m like, ‘Why are you hitting that star? What did Donald Trump do to you?'” Describing further, “Then he went around the corner and I think he left.”
Though the perpetrator’s identify was not immediately known, he’ll likely soon emerge a social media star in his own right, as this appears another headline grabbing spectacle in the left’s self-styled “heroic” war on Trump and all things representative.
The culprit’s “fame” is predictably already being celebrated by the Left:

It’s but the latest in a series of symbolic incidents designed to attract attention and stir anti-Trump sentiment.

One of the journalists to circulate a photo of the obliterated marble star, NBC Los Angeles’ Jonathan Gonzalez, noted that though “it’s been vandalized multiple times” it’s “never [been] on this level”.
So this just happened again… somebody used a pick axe to destroy Donald Trump's star on the Walk of Fame. Still trying to learn more, but we know it's been vandalized multiple times, just never on this level. @NBCLA 📸: Victor Park/Loudlabs pic.twitter.com/lzq7YrsSRV

In 2016 James Lambert Otis was taped destroying the star in response to the infamous Billy Bush tape which caught Trump on a hot microphone in 2005 saying of women, “They let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy,” and further, “when you’re a star, they let you do it.”
Otis was charged with felony vandalism in the 2016 incident, for which he was sentenced to three years probation, 20 days of community service, and paid $4,400 for the damage.
In the immediate aftermath of the Wednesday early morning hours incident, police officers stood guard near chunks of the marker and dusty residue strewn along the pavement.
Early reports suggested that the star itself may have been chiseled out of the surrounding marble and concrete and stolen, but there appears enough debris to show it was just pulverized.
The terrazzo and brass star was first installed at 6801 Hollywood Blvd in 2007 to commemorate Trump’s lengthy stint hosting The Apprentice, among over 2,600 other stars.
No doubt Trump’s is now the single star with the longest track record of being targeted for vandalism and destruction.
#BREAKING UPDATE: A man claiming he destroyed Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has turned himself in to Beverly Hills police, while the remains of the star has been tagged and covered with a chin-up bar. https://t.co/EqfIOH369u pic.twitter.com/E2uyy0FvON

In my personal opinion, the walk of fame is nothing more that a walk of shame these days. Hollywood and the supposed stars of today have sunk to a level of degradation from which there is no return. The days of old are gone, along with the fine actors and actresses of days gone by. The individual that caused this damage should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I do not care what star was destroyed or if this person was a republican or a democrat, but the fact is that this person caused this damage and must now be made to pay the penalty for his actions. It makes no difference to me anymore who you are. If you commit a crime you should be jailed and fined then sent away somewhere in the woods separated from the rest of civilized society. The Rooster Has Crowed!!!
I have said from the onset of this past election that it was one of good vs evil. Good won, and thank God he did. Hate and discord are trademarks of Satan himself….and the left-wing Liberals. No coincidence there. Ironically, the Liberals are doing everything possible to bring Trump down, and he is the first president since Ronald Reagan to put THIS country and the welfare of ALL first and foremost. Administrations since Reagan and prior to Trump have had their own selfish agendas…both the Democrats and Republicans. When I respond to left-wing Liberals claims of president Trump being racist, etc., and ask for one example, I have yet to be given one by any of them. Trump is far from perfect, but he has his heart and soul in the right place…and his actions are for the benefit of all Americans…
100% agree!
bravo you are correct
http://disq.us/p/1u99qvd If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place. CLAPPER’S OWN CONFESSION
AMERICANS WE HAVE TO TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA FROM THE EVIL CRIMINAL ACTS OF DEMOCRATS………………………..TO SOLVE AMERICAS PROBLEMS MAKE THIS CHOICE WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2018, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT
Reply
love every word you wrote,vote democrats out
AMEN……VOTE it does count….VOTE
i agree 100%, Ignorance breeds Ignorance, and the liberals show it every day!
The liberals can’t stand the fact that Trump has-
1. Ended ISIS
2. Ended the Korean War after 68 years.
3. Lowered the unemployment do to the lowest level since 2000.
4. Stabilized the Mexican border so that unskilled wages have gone up 30%. Labor is an economic commodity and when there is a surplus of people who will work for nothing and the employer won’t have to pay withholding, the wages go way down.
5. Is working to stabilize world trade..
6. Trying to get foreign countries to pay their share of UN membership.
Killary, sacrificed our country for her personal wealth, President Trump sacrificed his wealth for our country. Which one do you trust?
Well said!
crooked hillary should be in jail,i just hope i outlive her.so i can celebrate her death with millions more,open-bar everywhere but california
They can come to my home in California we’ll celebrate while singing, “Ding dong the witch is dead” Then once she’s laid to rest we’ll go dance on her grave.
Will, the main thing that liberals are crazy about is that Hillary lost the election and that they have lost their power. They really don’t care much about what happens to the country or world as long as they keep their power…. that’s because they are all hypocrites who are keeping the public in the dark and want only to make their fortunes through their corruption. It’s never been more clear.
where , what and how are some of these pathetic minds coming to justify this behavior . I truly believe there is no hope for these individuals to learn to deal with it and become constructive human beings , and they can’t figure why people are supporting the President…here’s a clue…your dangerous irrational people.
Someone should have shoved that pick up his arze so he would know how we really feel about what he did!
How much was he paid to do the deed?
Ask Georgie Soros
Just imagine the outcry if the star or stars of a liberal actor/actress had been destroyed the same way.
Obama . . . . Where were you the night of . . . . .?
Not to dems/libs/progressives/socialist:
Your hysterical extremism is a major, major reason you lost the election.
But thanks for showing us we elected the right person.
Plain STUPID,,,,,,
WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO WORKS FERVENTLY FOR THE CITIZEN OF THE USA..!!
Better yet, in the perpetrators head. Since it’s a Democommie it should experience a(n early) communists fate;-)
Just unbelievable. These Dems are turning into anarchists they what to overthrow are government and bring back Obama. Nothing scary than him as a dictator. Look what he did too the Deep State. He weaponized it against his own people. Wake up American.
Jefferson said the fruits of Liberty need to be cleansed from time to time. Well the mid terms is the cleansing process . Votes the Dems out of office give Trump the Senate and keep the House.
Get out and Vote this November
Well stated!! Thank you.
If I were Pres Trump, I’d ask to have the star removed because it is an insult to the honor of the President to have his name associated with the pedophiles and perverts of Hollywierd.
THIS WAS DONE BY THE KIND COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE ON THE LEFT DAHHHHHHH
this punk that did this is a low life that will never amount to nothing i hope they put him in jail and every prisoner has their way with him every day. Normal people Don’t act this way he is not of the world that I live in
I am so sad that anyone could do this to our great president. How can they think they are doing right when all they do is destroy. I pray for our president and pray that everyone will get out and vote in the November elections.
I like that they may even meet up with Hillary. Oh no I heard on one of the channels on TV that she was going to run for Present again are thinking about it. So they may have to hurry and get him in the woods so he wont miss her.l
