The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce previously said it would never remove a star over backlash.
The West Hollywood City Council will vote Monday night on a resolution urging the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to permanently remove Donald Trump’s walk of fame star.
The marker, which was unveiled in 2007, has been vandalized numerous times and completely destroyed twice to date.
"The City Council will consider adopting a resolution urging the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove President Donald J. Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, due to his disturbing treatment of women and other actions that do not meet the shared values of the City of West Hollywood, the region, state, and country," reads the agenda item for the Monday meeting.
The staff report for the resolution lists numerous reasons for the matter, including the separation of children from their parents at the border, the denial of the impacts from climate change on the word, Trump's treatment of transgendered individuals and the denial of findings from the intelligence community of Russian interference in the 2016 election, among more.
When critics called for the removal of Bill Cosby's star from the walk of fame amid multiple sexual assault claims leveled against the comedian, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said it did not remove stars over backlash and cited historical landmark status.
Trump's star was most recently destroyed in late July after 24-year-old Austin Mikel Clay allegedly took a pickaxe to it in the early morning hours. For his actions, he was booked on felony vandalism and jailed on a $20,000 bail. He has since been released.
Before the July destruction, 53-year-old James Lambert Otis was taped destroying the star with a jackhammer and a pickaxe. He later pleaded no contest to one felony count of vandalism. That was in 2016.
Otis told The Hollywood Reporter he intended to help Clay with is legal troubles.
Liberals win again.
West Hollywood has values? Who’da knowed it?
Let’s hope they do. It will be more red meat for our side and it will push Trump to work harder if that is even possible.
Sounds like precedent to me.
So, there is a Hollywood Blacklist for NOT being a Communist.
The Commie-hunters of the 50s were 100% right. But, they had to quit because of the inconvenient truth.
Didn't help all the Southern Confederates statues and flags.
If cops enforced the law, the vandalism and criminal behavior might stop. The cops should have used their batons on the guy with the pick chopping up the Trump star.

I keep telling my wife, the more they attack, the more his approval rating goes up.
Probably some Sun Tzu thing that says this, you know, when your enemy is killing itself, don’t intervene.
Lots of smart FR folks who could probably provide the exact quote (and in Chinese as well).
There goes most of those enshrined in the walkway, if they apply the same standards to all of the stars.
Hollywood always wants violence to win and control due to their hate.
Filthy democrats sure get off on destroying good things.
West Hollywood, full of homo pervs, you can’t walk the streets without stepping on a syringe..you couldn’t pay me enough money to sit on their toilets
West Hollywood=Queer Central for SoCal. Second place, Santa Monica!
Destroy Hollywood.
Cut cable. Put up an antenna.
Don’t go to movies. Don’t pay for HBO.
Play board games with your family.
Go bowling.
Stay off Facebook and shop at local stores.
Starve them of what they want most - money and prestige.
If disagreement with political policies is justification for placement or removal of a star, perhaps it should be renamed The Hollywood Walk of Famous Liberals.
Just a thought.
Does Weinstein have a star?
I know that in one sense it is a win for the libbies; but in a more profound sense, it diminishes them for the childishness of it; it makes them look like muslims (who also destroy imagery they hate), and it exposes and further magnifies their already-huge hypocrisy.
I know they get used to their own foul smell; but occasionally they wince when others point it out.
His treatment of wymun. Sounds like there should be some other “stars “ removed as well.
