On the Hollywood Walk of Fame (Los Angeles, USA), a star was broken in honor of US President Donald Trump. According to the TMZ portal, citing police sources, this was done by a man who was wearing a Hulk costume – one of the characters in the Marvel universe.
The preliminary damage caused is estimated at five thousand dollars, the police are investigating and looking for a suspect. The star will be replaced soon.
This is not the first time a star has been damaged. For example, in June 2020, The Academy Music Business reported that vandals smashed the sidewalk with a star. Moreover, there were no identifying signs that it belongs to Trump. Then the incident was associated with a wave of protests that swept across the country after the death of 46-year-old resident of Minneapolis, George Floyd, as a result of brutal police detention.
The star in honor of Trump was installed in 2007, when he was not yet president. Trump received it for his participation in The Apprentice. Since then, she has been repeatedly attacked by vandals. The most significant case was the case in 2018, when it was smashed with a pickaxe. The man who did this turned himself in to the police and received a suspended sentence for vandalism. In general, local activists are in favor of removing the Trump star from the alley, but local authorities refuse to do this, restoring the monument over and over again.
