Police confirmed that Trump’s star was destroyed. No suspect was in custody but an investigation is ongoing, a police spokesperson told BuzzFeed News.
According to Deadline Hollywood, which first reported the attack, the star was destroyed by a sledgehammer-wielding man dressed as a city construction worker. Here’s video of the man destroying the star at around 5:45 am local time.
Deadline spoke to a man who identified himself as the alleged suspect. He said that he had originally intended to remove Trump’s star to auction off and raise funds for the women who have publicly accused Trump of sexual misconduct. However, he only managed to crush it. (BuzzFeed News could not immediately confirm this account.)
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce — responsible for the Walk of Fame — did not respond to BuzzFeed News’ request for comment.
2. The star was dedicated to Trump in 2007 after the success of his show The Apprentice and at the height of his public feud with Rosie O’Donnell.
During the ceremony Trump said, “It has really been a special moment in my life.” He also told the Associated Press then that his war of words with O’Donnell was over.
“If the press would let it die, I’m sure it would die,” Trump said.
3. Trump’s star has been messed with several times since he announced his presidential bid. In July, an LA artist built a barbed-wire wall around Trump’s star to mock his plan of building a wall between the US and Mexico.
4. His star was also defaced with various graffiti, including a reverse swastika…
