Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame vandalized again

If President Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame could talk, it would probably have no words to describe what it's been through over the last 11 years.

Trump received the star in 2007 for The Apprentice, but since he first announced he was running for president, it's become a stand-in for the man himself. Early Wednesday morning, a man carrying a pickax went to town on the star, completely destroying it; he later turned himself in to police in Beverly Hills, and was arrested. By the time the sun came up, the star was nothing but rubble, but that didn't stop someone else from tagging the remains with graffiti, and a third person throwing a chin-up bar on top, CBS Los Angeles reports.

In November 2016, a man used a sledgehammer and pickax to annihilate the star, and after that, someone spray painted a swastika on it, and another person constructed a tiny border wall. Many more have just throw trash on top of it, or spit. It's not just people defacing the star either; dogs have been known to leave their own presents behind.
