A man dressed as a construction worker and wielding a sledgehammer and pickax made short work of Donald Trump‘s Hollywood Walk of Fame star on Wednesday morning, leaving it an unrecognizable mess.
It now lay in ruins, much like Trump’s campaign. Sparks flew as it was beaten as badly as the man himself in the three presidential debates.
The Los Angeles Police Department have no suspects and are asking for anyone with information to come forward.

Deadline reports that the man identified himself as Jamie Otis and said he was planning on auctioning off the hardware he pried from the star to raise funds for the women who have accused Trump of sexually assaulting them.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Watch the video of the destruction below.
This is not the first time Trump’s star has been targeted. It has previously been spray-painted with a swastika, as well as a mute button, and has been urinated and defecated on. A street artist also built a wall around it, mocking Trump’s claim that he will build a wall along the southern border and make Mexico pay for it.
Trump was awarded the star for his reality show “The Apprentice,” for which, Hillary Clinton reminded us at the final debate, he was never given an Emmy.

Just as well. The walk of fame was intended to honor actors, directors and other kinds of performers, not those with no particular talent in that realm. And were it intended to honor “reality” stars as well, why not stars for those on the programs that win Emmies regularly?
Hopefully when the election is over, Trump will fade into the obscurity he deserves as a nasty, boorish real estate developer with questionable (but unquestionably garish) taste. The tendency for mean spirited, unintelligent, untalented and low integrity people to be granted fame by the media has always been odd (think “Real Housewives”, “Jersey shore”, “Honey Boo Boo”, “the Kardashians” and “the Apprentice” among others).

@dwes09: (I have to add that the act WAS undeniably vandalism and creates a public hazard, so I should temper my enthusiasm for it)

Yes, it was wrong to damage his star. Were one to take such license with an LGBT achievement I would be outraged. Trump’s own words were his undoing and that has a way of working itself out in time. It’s purifying for both candidates. It is a chance to grow into better people, all of us. The things we say, the decisions make reflect who we are. It’s not a hopeless situation. We are all one. This country has a way of dealing with outliers. It is so humorous and different from any other country gracing this orb. We will get there. Expect better behavior.

I hope President Clinton swoops down onto Flint, Michigan, before even removing her gloves, and starts the ball rolling. I would be so proud of her if she went back to Flint. Destruction-construction-destruction-construction. Flint first.

Trump could help with this.
Bob LaBlah
Despite how much I despise Trump and his “message” I can not condone this. It’s along the same line that he (Trump) sure as hell will follow if he were elected (getting even with his haters, which is just about everyone in congress). The “I’ll put her in jail” crap does fuel this type of hatred.
Alistair Wiseman
Yet another example of the tolerance, inclusiveness and diversity that liberals endlessly preach about to us mouth breathers.
They apparently haven’t figured out the concept in the real world.

The pus must be drained, before the abscess can heal. We do heal, Alistair. Only those looking for the worst in others mumble on. These road apples you leave behind are tidy little balls of despair.

I am surprised at how civil the above posters are.
If I had my way, the guy would have taken the ax and hammer to The Donald and rid the world of this pestilence once and for all.

@Alistair Wiseman: Nope, sorry queen, no tolerance of bigotry, misogyny, racism, and all forms of uncivilized, disgusting speech.

You disagree with something? You don’t like a candidate? You are “offended” by something? If you are a Leftist, Soci@list, Progressive Democrat, then it is your duty and right to employ M a r x i s t tactics and physically assault it. As we all know, a Democrats FEELINGS are always more important than their ACTIONS.
A Leftist destroyed something that bothered their little fweelings. Shocking – said no one.

Actually, the pet store I passed on W. 23rd Street today had both Hillary and Trump chew toys in the window, so…..(I guess the owner wanted Bernie..?)
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Alistair Wiseman: What are you talking about, the folks who adhere to the “feelings model” aren’t the leftists, its the folks who believe in “trickle down economics”, the ones who “talked to god” and apparently got the green light from “him” to invade Iraq, and the ones who talk about “less government” but want the government to interfere in their citizens sex lives. They are the ones who supposedly are all patriotic when it comes to the veterans, but don’t want to relinquish their guns because one day, those veterans might come knocking on behalf of the “tyrannical” government.
You people are insane.
Hussain-TheCanadian
@joeyty: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Alistair Wiseman
@Hussain-TheCanadian:
“You people are insane.”
Well, at least ‘we people’ know the difference between feelings and government policy. For example; you allude to the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is a FACT in America. The fact of the existence of the Second Amendment does not give a rip about your FEELINGS.
Hussain, I’m sorry that you find the the feelings of this liberal piece of shit more important than his despicable actions. You are a true liberal.

Is getting a star on the Hollywood walk of fame really that much of an achievement these days considering some of the people who have one like Trump
Mo Bro
Another instance in which the liberal mask of “tolerance” slips and reveals the true nature of the hateful, nasty beast underneath.
Mo Bro
@Alistair Wiseman:
Nailed it, Al. Liberals base their ideology on feelings, while conservatives base theirs on facts. Scary world indeed.
pisces-boi
@Mo Bro: Conservatives only acknowledge facts when it suits their need while dismissing the facts that doesn’t support their idea; therefore, they’re just as bad as liberals. Also just because someone is anti-Tramp doesn’t mean they’re liberals.
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Alistair Wiseman: Alistair you wouldn’t know a fact even if it hopped on your lap and called you daddy.
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Mo Bro: you need to stop giving conservatives “bro-jobs” and get off your knees.

Ursidae defecate in timberlands, paying no mind to the gender of others. These laws have claws worse than any bear. I suspect that many are Tedious Righters attempting to divide our colorfully queer fam’. Don’t fall for it. Love is merciful.

@Hussain-TheCanadian:
Bro-jobs?
Whoa, such wit! Such humor! Such intellect!
I bet you were so pleased with your savvy bon-mot you even sucked your own dick after coming up with that one, didn’t you?
(then likely choked to death on your own ejaculate, which even the coroner remarked was “Ironic yet appropriate”).

Intolerant little pussy had to hide behind an LADOT board to hide his crime. Find him, arrest him, make him pay. Liberals admonish Trump for incivility. This is civility? Hypocrites.
Oh yeah, has anyone noticed that Queerty has disintegrated into the same half dozen guys making comments back and forth? All you guys appear to know each other personally by now. I’m beginning to think there’s only about a dozen Queerty readers in total.
