After Donald Trump's Walk of Fame star was destroyed, dozens of new Trump stars appear on Hollywood Blvd

President Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which Trump initially received in 2007 for producing the Miss Universe show, has been destroyed multiple times by protesters, most recently on July 25. Now, those who found themselves on Hollywood Boulevard earlier today were seeing double — or rather dozens of times the amount of Trump stars on the famous sidewalk.

A conservative street artist allegedly laminated the vinyl stars on blank squares on the Walk of Fame because of West Hollywood City Council’s recent unanimous vote that recommended the removal of Trump’s star because of the accusations of his mistreatment of women.

The artist, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Hollywood Reporter, “Rip up the president’s Walk of Fame star or try to have it removed — like you’re the mayor of West Hollywood or something — and 30 more will pop up.”

TheFaction1776 is believed to be working along with conservative artist Sabo. Their Twitter bio describes themselves as “Anti-PC street art. Vandals bringing uncomfortable truth. Sabo & I trigger Libs. 100% anti-identity politics.”

They spent $1,000 on the stars, which were printed on sheets of floor vinyl with adhesive backing. They kept the stars covered until all of the copies were in place so as not to raise suspicion.

“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.”

The stars, however, were peeled up. A member of the cleaning service that handles the daily graffiti that is placed on the Walk of Fame told the Hollywood Reporter, “We started at 5 o’clock in the morning and we’ve found about 50 stars.”
