Okay, all set. An artist has set up a perfect commentary around Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Star.
The miniature wall is quite detailed, as this Instagram user wrote: “Someone had built a 6″ tall grey concrete wall around it. Complete with ‘Keep out’ signs and topped with razor wire.”
Fusion has the story. I have no doubt that the commentary will have lots of commentary tomorrow, when all the cons start decrying this horrific act of vandalism. I have my teeny, tiny violin all ready.
Aaaaahaaahaahaaaa!!!!
I love artists.
I feel joy.
Likewise Marcus Ranum #1. Artists speak truth to power, and giggle while doing it.
Thanks for the tip, Morgan!
This is excellent. I love the little graffiti on the outside of the wall, too. So perfect! In all the ways.
I had no idea Trump had a star on the “walk of fame”
So, I guess that means they’ll give them to pretty much any asshole. Noted.
Marcus @ 6:
Neither did I, and I was confused as why he had one. Apparently, that’s the ‘billionaire’ spot. And it speaks to Americanism so much.
Isn’t that a little TV symbol on his star? I don’t know what’s surprises me more. Giving him a star for being a rich ass-hole, or giving him a star for being a reality-TV ass-hole.
I like the concept.
I think the price for the star is about $5,000, plus appearing in movies and/or TV. Chump change for The Donald, if you believe him….
It’s very well done, but possibly counterproductive. As Trump would no doubt say, all publicity is good publicity.
I believe stars can be bought; it’s a publicity thing. The wall is perfect.

We should take up a collection and buy one for someone that’ll really freak them out.
Street theater! Just like we used to do in the 60’s. This renews my faith in America.
Marcus Ranum @ 12 -- I vote for Saul Alinsky.
That is just lovely.
Nice work. I admit I was skeptical of all the bluster about making the Mexicans pay for it, but I think they’ll be willing to chip in for this one.
Beautiful!
