A petition to remove Donald Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame has received thousands of signatures, but the decision on whether to remove the star is just as controversial as the man whose name is on it.
Trump’s star, which he received in 2007, has been destroyed and replaced several times, but no star has ever been permanently removed from the Walk of Fame despite several celebrities’ fall from grace.
The man who started the petition to get rid of Trump’s star for good, Andrew Rudick, says that while he has garnered more than 3,800 signatures for his petition, he’s also been the subject of a death threat and an attempted taser attack.
Rudick told KTLA 5’s Mary Beth McDade that in addition to the petition, he has gone to several city organizations in the hopes that they would remove it permanently.
“I think the city should take themselves up on that charge and finally stop being ‘paper lion Democrats’ and act,” he said. “Instead of saying ‘We’re going to talk the talk’ you know, you have to walk the walk too…and this is something that can happen.”
Los Angeles City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, who represents the area, said in a statement that there is “no known precedent” for removing a star.
“We’re looking into where the authority lies, what the legal issues may be and what a process for it might look like,” Soto-Martinez said.
Despite the controversy that may surround the 45th president, many were seen taking pictures by his star on Wednesday afternoon, but reactions to whether it should be removed permanently were mixed.

So when do they take out Bill Cosby’s star? Weinsteins?
And exactly WHY is Trump even on the Hollywood Walk of fame?
His old TV show? His old appearances on the WWF?
No reason to remove it. He has not done anything wrong.
Is Bill Cosby’s star still there?
Whoops, I did not see your post before I posted mine.
Home Alone? People PAY for the stars on the Walk of Fame.
I do not think the stars can just be ripped out without repercussions.
Petition to remove Hollywood from the face of the Earth Lauded!
Shunning, banning, disappearing
Hallmarks of Communist regimes
Hollywood is run by entitled, petty and spiteful children.
That state is so liberal, I sometimes wish a super earthquake would break it up and sink it into the ocean
Good point Hollywood are one in the same type.
Fame has a price you can never talk about there.
Plus don't the people pay for their own stars? It's not like it is public property.
There’ll be a big one any day now, you might just get your wish and then some.
Because Hollywood needs "stars" that the people know and like.
Hollywood also needs people who are willing to buy the stars on the sidewalk.
If Trump’s star is removed, the ones for Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Adolphe Menjou, Kate Smith, Connie Francis, Charlton Heston, Elia Kazan, Robert Mitchum and other patriots will quickly follow.
Enjoy trying to destroy a chunk of cement it while it lasts, TDS creeps. After next year his image and statues of him will be almost everywhere for you to seeth over.
Just leave it there. It’s a vanity thing anyway.
Andrew Rudnick’s friends describe him as, “the Jew who stole Christmas,” the serial entrepreneur describes himself as, “the self-proclaimed master of making Jewish babies.” This year, the Matzoball will be sponsored by popular Jewish dating app JSwipe, but for many couples, Andrew Rudnick is a dating app! Rudnick admits that he regularly receives thank you letters from couples who met at one of his events and have since gone on to get married and have children. He even has a particular term for babies born as a direct result of his wild singles parties: little Matzo Balls.
The ball was the serial entrepreneur’s first venture. Andrew was born in Boston to an observant Jewish family who encouraged him to make a name for himself while always staying true to his roots. He attended Boston University and supported himself by bartending at the famous Boston nightclub: The Metro. Before Rudnick got into the club promotion business, venues were rarely open on Christmas Eve. However, like most American Jews, he still had Christmas day off. That Christmas Eve, Rudnick, fresh out of University, wanted to party and possibly meet his future wife. He attended a ball for Jewish singles held in a hotel ballroom....
He’s a Jew staying true to his roots.
They hate because it reminds them of how they stole the election…evil hideous people.
When Trump is re-elected, the HOLLYWOOD sign should be replaced with a huge Trump star, and all 50 States should be required to place a bust of Donald Trump at their highest point.
