(102,263 posts)1. I noticed even on TMZ (which has promoted Trump nearly as bad as Nat Inquirer), more than 2/3
believe the star should be removed.... ("poll" from this weekend)

And for a proper fitting, it should be lifted by a crane, raised up about 25 feet, and okay, Agent Mike, OKAY!

He was a sleazy reality show host. He did nothing to deserve a star on the walk of fame.

(102,263 posts)5. Carrie should get her own star ASAP, but not where Trump's is now...
His should remain concrete void. Her's should be distant from it to avoid his insanely rabid supporters from vandalizing it in retaliation.

(145,225 posts)12. West Hollywood City Council Approves Resolution Urging Removal of Trump's Walk of Fame Star
Bye Bye https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/weho-city-council-vote-removing-trumps-walk-fame-star-1132369
West Hollywood City Council has voted "unanimously" to approve a resolution urging Los Angeles City Council and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to permanently remove Donald Trumps Walk of Fame star.
The star, which was unveiled in 2007, has been vandalized numerous times and completely destroyed twice. The most recent destruction came in late July when 24-year-old Austin Mikel Clay allegedly took a pickaxe to it. For his actions, he was booked on felony vandalism and jailed on $20,000 bail. He has since been released.
The council considered the removal of the star at a meeting on Monday evening. The agenda item read: "The City Council will consider adopting a resolution urging the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove President Donald J. Trumps 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"
Following the meeting, a council rep emailed The Hollywood Reporter: "At this evenings regular City Council meeting, the West Hollywood City Council voted unanimously to approve the Resolution."
