Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Destroyed Again
Hollywood Reporter ^ | July 25, 2018 | Ryan Parker

It happened again.

On Wednesday morning, Donald Trump's star along the Hollywood Walk of Fame was once again destroyed.

The star was totally demolished, not just vandalized, which has also happened numerous times.

Los Angeles police told The Hollywood Reporter a call about the star being destroyed came in around 3:33 a.m. When officers arrived, the suspect was gone.

Around 6:20 a.m., police told THR a man had been taken into custody concerning the incident. He was described as a 25-year-old man. As of 6 a.m., he was being processed at the LAPD Hollywood division.

NBCLA reporter Jonathan Gonzalez tweeted, "Multiple people — including police — tell me a man walked up with a guitar case and pulled out the pickaxe. Then, it’s believed, he called police himself to report it, but left the scene before they got here. Now, he’s nowhere to be found."

This marks the second time the president's star has been totally destroyed.

How the Left survives in the total misery and hate they are filled with baffles me.

The little bastards destroyed a Lt. Michael Murphy (”Lone Survivor”) memorial in New York also. Still no word on any Barrack Hussein Obama crap being vandalized though. Must be a Tide pod thing. When they aren’t destroying private property, they’re shooting up schools and classmates.

Yeah I can’t imagine being consumed with so much hate.

If it costs less than $1,000.00 to repair the damage to the sidewalk, replicate, and affix/replace the star, I’d be surprised.

I think these news readers like NorDUH O’Donnell and Major Garrett must were mouth guards or they would have ground their teeth down to their gums.

The hate on the left is remarkable. How can any reasonable American like this?

I think the President should ask them not to reinstall the star and request that a star be placed for veterans that were killed at War.

Fill it with explosives for the next person who tries to take a pickaxe to it.

They need to replace it with one cast out of titanium.

I had a similar thought. Replace it with a material that is bulletproof or virtually indestructible by human hands. That way they could hit it with a pick ax until they were exhausted and the star would still look like new. I'm sure Trump would be willing to pay for it.

I looked at the linked story and looked around that web site. I'm uninterested in Hollywood and seldom bother attending their make believe movie world. Reality is far more exciting to me.

An overdose here and a sex scandal there. My gosh these people live in another world from my Upper Midwest upbringing and the life I have led.

Yes, they live in a bubble.

“Fill it with explosives for the next person who tries to take a pickaxe to it.”

How about fill it with a stink bomb. Hit it with a pick ax and get sprayed. Include a little of that dye they put in exploding money packages.

“How the Left survives in the total misery and hate they are filled with baffles me.”

Yes, it’s very puzzling. I believe the Left is comprised of the “anti whatever” people - those who oppose whatever are the dominant cultural or societal norms.

Essentially, they are the complainers and no one should be surprised that they behave like angry malcontents - that’s exactly what they are. They literally seek to tear down the establishment.

Their advantage over us is that it takes far less energy to tear something down than it does to build something up. In five minutes a guy with a pick axe can destroy a sidewalk star, but what will it take to replace it? This is basic physics - the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It’s frightening how much damage can be done by the Left when they choose a target of destruction.

Their weakness is that they have no core values or principles to inspire them or direct them. Because of that, they are naturally disorganized, leaderless, conflicted, unstable, moody and have short attention spans.

Right now, Trump appears to be a lightening rod for their distructive impulses, and they are uncharacteristically unified by their common hate for him. But even that shared focus may be more appearance than substance, and could evaporate at a moments notice.

In the late sixties and early seventies, the free love hippie culture was huge and growing and then it seemed like over night everyone cut their hair and got a job. More recently I remember everything was occupy this, occupy that. Then a couple years ago BLM was in the news 24/7 and seemed like it was here to stay. I don’t hear that much about them anymore.

These Leftists are moody and easily distracted and they really have no core principle inspiring them - just anger and hate for whatever catches their attention. So they lose interest and disappear. Then another group appears somewhere else chanting something completely different.

One thing that makes them appear a lot bigger than they really are is the magnifying glass and megaphone of the MSM. If it wasn’t for the Left’s ownership of the MSM, the Left would be seen as the fringe element that they really are. It’s like the Great and Powerful Oz saying “pay no attention to that man behind the curtain”.

Somehow we have to destroy the Left’s communication monopoly - without that they are weak.

They have the media and the schools, both need to change.

Raise $30,000.

All star applications carry a $30,000 sponsorship fee. Half goes to the Hollywood Historic Trust, which maintains the Walk of Fame. The rest funds the creation of the star itself—breaking up the blank existing square and replacing it with a new one, printing the replica plaque honorees can take home, hiring photographers, security, and anything else related to the ceremony.

Typically the recording label or movie studio will foot the bill. But in some cases, the money has been raised by stars’ devoted fans. “Liza Minnelli’s fan club raised money by showing her movies at somebody’s house and having bake sales,” says Martinez. “Dean Stockwell was into recycling, so his fans did it by recycling.”
