By |

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame continues to be defaced likely by people who are either unhappy that he is going to be the next president and comment he made during the campaign that were deemed inflammatory. As a result, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has had to cover up Trump’s star to prevent others from defacing it again. “We regret that someone would deface a historic landmark,” said Leron Gubler, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president and CEO in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “People who have a disagreement with Trump should not take it out on the Walk of Fame. The star will be restored to its original condition as soon as possible,” Gubler said.
