Donald Trump’s star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame in Los Angeles has become a visible symbol of America’s political polarisation. Awarded in 2007 for his role in the television show The Apprentice, the star has repeatedly been vandalised, including attacks with a pickaxe, spray paint and physical damage. During a recent visit, protesters were seen stomping on it and expressing opposition to Trump’s policies, particularly his immigration stance. However, his supporters have also defended the star. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has refused calls to remove it, considering the stars part of the landmark’s historic fabric.
