In what can only be described as a “When in Rome” activity, a new travel tradition has emerged in Hollywood, CA.
Many tourists come from across the globe to walk the infamous Hollywood Walk of Fame. Seeing and photographing a star dedicated to their favorite, actor, singer or entertainment has been a tradition since it’s inception in 1960. When a star passes away, their star on the walk of fame becomes a shrine to their work with fans leaving flowers, gifts, and thank you notes to honor the fallen celebrity.
So, it only seems fitting the tradition be adapted to fit the current climate of our country. Yes, it appears that Donald Trump’s Star on the Walk of Fame has become a dumping ground for people’s political grievances. Visitors are defacing his star, from writing all over it to relieving themselves on top of it.
Sure, when walking around Hollywood, finding restroom can prove challenging for a lot of people, and yet, it’s only Donald Trump’s star getting this kind of attention. What started as a funny little anecdote, has become a much bigger problem. In fact the Hollywood Historic Trust is considering removing his star altogether as the cost of restoring it regularly soars. You may remember the first reports surfacing about a swastika being spray painted on his star in January.
Once that first gauntlet was thrown, people took this symbolic gesture as a personal challenge and a new tradition was born.
If only writing “Don’t Vote” were enough of a deterrent to keep him out of the White House.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could actually mute him…permanently?
My spidey-sense is telling me Trump’s not popular in the Marvel Universe either.
Never, ever, discount a dog’s instincts when it comes to people and politics.
But, it doesn’t stop there. Reports have been coming in about Trump’s star being urinated and defecated on by actual human people, too. It’s unclear whether or not they are registered voters or not, but the message is clear: Donald Trump is not as popular as he wants us to believe. The only question left is, what will happen to Trump Towers if he wins the Presidency?
