Even if Donald Trump doesn't win the presidential election, he'll still have a border wall, thanks the handiwork of Los Angeles-based street artist Plastic Jesus. On Tuesday — the day Trump officially won the Republican presidential nomination — a tiny wall briefly surrounded his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The wall, a nod to Trump's proposed construction along the U.S.-Mexico border, was built with 6-inch wood planks and topped with razor wire and tiny "keep out" signs:
Hollywood sight-seers on the famous walk of fame were confronted with an unusual edition to Trump’s Famous Star. Someone had built a 6" tall grey concrete wall around it. Complete with "Keep out" signs and topped with razor wire. The unofficial addtion to the iconic star appeared early Tuesday afternoon, to the amusement of onlookers. #Hollywood #donaldtrump #melaniatrump #hollywoodwalkoffame #wall #trump #election #election2016 #rnc #gop #gopconvention #rnc2016 #nevertrump #cleveland #tedcruz #hillaryclinton #hillary #berniesanders #feelthebernA photo posted by Plastic Jesus - Official (@plasticjesus) on Jul 19, 2016 at 5:18pm PDT
