After Being Destroyed, Trump's Walk of Fame Star Multiplies
Hollywood Reporter ^ | August 9, 2018

Posted on 08/09/2018 3:55:49 PM PDT by SMGFan

A crew laminated vinyl stars and placed them on blank squares in Hollywood.

Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — destroyed on several occasions by detractors who sometimes wield a pick-ax — mysteriously multiplied over night so that on Thursday morning there were several dozen stars.

The effort comes from a conservative street artist who wishes to remain anonymous, but says he was motivated not only by the destruction of the president's real star, but also a recent unanimous vote by the West Hollywood City Council to recommend the removal of Trump's star due to accusations he has mistreated women.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and Los Angeles City Council haven't weighed in on the matter, but those who oppose the proposal note that others in Hollywood who have also been accused of mistreating women still have stars on the Walk of Fame, most notably Bill Cosby.

They should plant a blue dye pack under Trumps star. When the next moron hits it with a pick ax.... boom. They will lock like they were a Smurf swimming in Tidy Bowl.

This is the way to respond.

It gets the message across yet does not destroy anything (since they can be peeled off).

Next he should sell them on line - perhaps even miniature versions so other can help get the “message” out there.

Awesome, now if the city council wants to remove an artist’s work it will be considered a violation of the 1st amendment.

The pictures and the comments at the link rate a click. Unfortunately, the stars were removed by a maintenance crew. 😠

Just like starfish. You chop them into pieces, each piece grows into a new star.

People are talking about this Tweet. “The West Hollywood City Council did not pass the resolution because Donald Trump is a conservative or a Republican,” said West Hollywood Mayor Pro Tem John D’Amico in a statement to The Wrap. “Earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is an honor. When one belittles and attacks minorities, immigrants, people with disabilities or women — the honor no longer exists.”

============================

ACTION NOW---demand to know why ex-US Sen Chris Dodd, a Democrat, who was in a position to do so, as the
Motion Picture Association of America’s chairman/CEO, did nothing about Weinstein’s ongoing atrocities against women.
Dodd recently exited the MPAA post. Charles H. Rivkin, is current Chairman & Chief Executive Officer.

The MPAA is the voice of the global film and TV industry, a community of storytellers at the nexus of innovation, imagination, and creativity.
In the US (and around the globe), the film and TV industry drives the creative US economy.

MPAA members are: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Paramount Pictures Corporation, Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.,
Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, Universal City Studios LLC, and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

Ensuring Trump's star will always be shiny and new.
