West Hollywood City Council Approves Resolution To Remove Trump's Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

The City Council of very gay West Hollywood has voted unanimously in approving a resolution asking that Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame be removed.

Via HuffPost:

City officials voted on the measure just weeks after Trump’s star, placed in 2007, was obliterated by a vandal wielding a pickax. The tourist site has been vandalized several times since the president took office, and the most recent incident has set off discussions over whether the star should be taken away permanently due to the president’s divisive rhetoric.

The star isn’t in West Hollywood, which has no power over it, but the resolution urges the city of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to take action.

“Getting a star is a privilege; it’s not a right,” West Hollywood’s Mayor Pro Tempore John D’Amico, who jointly put forth the resolution, said at a City Council meeting on Monday. “You have no right to a star on Hollywood [Boulevard] just because you’re famous.”

Don't hold your breath for the removal, though.

Last month, then-president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Leron Gubler, told The Hollywood Reporter, “Once a star has been added to the walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the walk.”
