Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star vandalised again - this time with swastikas

Earlier this year West Hollywood City Council passed a resolution calling for the removal of the star

Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been vandalised yet again, this time with a number of swastikas and what appeared to be fake blood.

First on Wednesday, a man scribbled the swastikas in black marker pen - alongside both English and Spanish slurs - onto the star. The next day, an amount of fake blood, or red paint, was daubed over the star.

Both incidents were captured by a camera put in place by entertainment news site TMZ. The graffiti was later removed.

Los Angeles police were said to be investigating the marker pen incident at least.

The star along Hollywood Boulevard was unveiled in 2007 at the height of Mr Trump's television fame as host of The Apprentice.

Mr Trump's star has been the target for vandalism a number of times over the years, particularly since his campaign for the presidency in 2016. It has been completely destroyed twice.

The star has also previously been enclosed by a miniature border wall and graced with a gold-plated toilet telling people to "take a Trump".

In August, West Hollywood City Council passed a resolution calling for the removal of the star for "actions that do not meet the shared values of the City of West Hollywood, the region, state, and country."

Last month, Austin Mikel Clay, 24, of Glendale, California, pleaded no contest after he was charged with felony vandalism for taking a pickaxe to the star over the summer.

Clay was sentenced to one day in jail, three years of formal probation and 20 days of community service.

In October 2016, James Lambert Otis was taped destroying the star with a jackhammer and a pickaxe. He later pleaded no contest to one felony count of vandalism.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has said it has no plans to remove the star, as the walk is a designated historical landmark.
