A conservative street artist placed laminate tiles bearing copies of President Trump's star across the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, two weeks after a man destroyed the president's official star with a pickaxe.
The Hollywood Reporter noted Thursday that as many as 50 of the fake stars had appeared overnight on the Walk of Fame, apparently the product of the street artist who told the news outlet that he wished to remain anonymous.
The artist added he was motivated by the recent destruction of Trump's star, as well as a vote from the West Hollywood City Council to recommend the removal of the president's star over his statements and alleged treatment toward women.
"I didn't want to get hit over the head from behind. We thought Trump Derangement Syndrome was a joke, but I'm pretty sure it's real," the artist said. "If no one peels these off, they could last there for 10 years."
Some businesses, including Hollywood's branch of the Ripley's Believe it or Not! museum, had begun removing the stars as of Thursday, THR reported.
"We didn't want to have what happened to the old star here. Not only would the star be destroyed, but it would damage our property," an employee told THR.
Police arrested a man, Austin Clay, who claimed responsibility for the vandalism that destroyed Trump's star last month. Clay was later bailed out of jail, and faces charges of felony vandalism.
The star has yet to be replaced, and it's unclear whether the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce will continue to repair the star in the face of repeated vandalism efforts.
The guy is brilliant!
Love it!
They push... We push back harder.
They bring a knife...
We’ll bring a nuke.
Awesome.....but Sessions will probably pounce on him....
Super..I like it. When I first saw Hollywood in the early ‘60’s or so, I saw filthy dirty messes on the Hollywood Walk of Fame...I always wondered who’d want their star there only to be spit on...It’s not the most beautiful city in the country - far from it.
Y-e-e-s-s-s-s.......
Lucille Ball once reminisced that Hollywood is a very lonely place....until you get connected.
It’s nice to see people fighting back against these leftist f-tards.
Beyond awesome!
Should have put them over liberal Hollyweird people.
THAT is FUNNY!!!
I love that he left the Rob Reiner star in the middle surrounded by Donald Trump.

When one head is cut off ten more grow!
God, I love Trumpers ... I see the Founding Fathers saying OH BOOM, MIC DROP BITCHES !!
I love that he left the Rob Reiner star in the middle surrounded by Donald Trump.
Sorry for the repeat.
