City: Remove Trump star from Hollywood Walk of Fame
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — The West Hollywood City Council has unanimously approved a resolution seeking the removal of Donald Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame for the president’s “dis- turbing treatment of women and other actions.”
Monday’s vote isn’t likely to get the intended result. The tourist attraction is in neighboring Los
Angeles and it’s run by the Holly- wood Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber President Leron Gu- bler tells the Los Angeles Times the chamber has never removed a star because each is considered part of the walk’s “historic fabric.”
The council vote came after a man used a pickax to destroy the star last month and was charged with a felony count of vandalism. The star, which has been repaired,
recognized Trump for his work on the reality show “The Appren- tice.”
West Hollywood is a decided- ly anti-Trump city. Last spring Mayor John Duran declared it “Stormy Daniels Day” and gave a key to the city to the porn actress who is suing Trump over a confi- dentiality agreement for an affair she claims they haçd.
