Trump’s Hollywood star was destroyed last night on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The man who did it not only reported the crime, but turned himself in as well:
NBC LOS ANGELES – President Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed Wednesday morning by a man with a pickax that witnesses say he concealed in a guitar case, police said.
Officers were called around 3:30 a.m. to the star’s location on Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue, where they found a small pile of rubble in place of the star that Trump received in January 2007 for his role in the NBC show “The Apprentice.”
The star-smashing suspect, who reported the crime to police, later turned himself in to Beverly Hills police, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The pickax was left at the scene.
The man’s identity was not immediately available.
Witness David Palmer said he is accustomed to seeing the unusual on Hollywood Boulevard, where tourists mingle with street performers dressed as superheroes and other characters, but he was surprised to see the Walk of Fame vandalism.
“I’m like, ‘Why are you hitting that star? What did Donald Trump do to you?'” Palmer told NBC4. “Then he went around the corner and I think he left.
Workers were sweeping up the shattered remains of the star early Wednesday. It was not immediately clear when repairs will begin.
Here’s what was left of the star:
I’m sure they’ll repair it good as new soon enough. Maybe they’ll make the man help fix it who destroyed it, and of course pay for it. I bet that won’t be cheap.
