Trump's start on the Hollywalk of fame was destroyed by a guy with a pickax...AGAIN
Trump's Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame Is Now Rubble
It was basically destroyed, again, by a guy with a pickax
(NEWSER) – Vandalism has once again hit President Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This time, a man who had a pickax hidden in a guitar case almost completely destroyed the star, reducing it to mostly rubble, NBC Los Angeles reports. The suspect left the pickax at the star and reported the incident to police himself, around 3:30am Wednesday, and later turned himself in. Graffiti was later added to the already-destroyed star, CBS Los Angeles reports. In 2016, a man used a pickax and sledgehammer to deface the star of then-candidate Trump (who received it in 2007 for his role as the Miss Universe producer, Fast Company explained in 2016). It has also been spray-painted, covered with stickers, and had a 6-inch-high wall placed around it to symbolize Trump's proposed border wall. It's not clear when repairs will begin this time around. See the destroyed star here.

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 after leaving the pickax at the scene, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. He called police and said, "See you soon," Lt. Karen Leong of the LAPD's Hollywood Division told the Los Angeles Times.
The suspect was identified as Austin Clay, 24, who was booked on suspicion of felony vandalism. His hometown was not immediately available.
