to\u2063 have the former president\u2019s star removed from the Walk\u200c of Fame, Hollywood Hills resident Andrew Rudick has \u200cspent the last three years filing requests\u2063 for public records, obtaining court documents, attending city council meetings, and communicating with elected officials, according \u200cto the\u2063 <em>Los Angeles Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe reasonably conveyed message to\u2063 the millions who have walked past that plaque since 2021\u200c is the city\u2019s endorsement of a man who attempted a \u2064coup against the\u200c United\u200c States,\u201d Rudick said at the Los Angeles City Council\u200b this month.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Since 2016, Trump\u2019s star has\u2063 required\u2062 more than $20,000 in\u2064 repairs due\u200c to vandalism and onlookers smashing it with tools, but it is \u200bunclear who would have the\u2063 power to take it down given\u2064 that various organizations,\u200d such as the City Council, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, and the Hollywood Historic Trust, have varying degrees of jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe Chamber is authorized\u200b by the City to administer Walk\u2063 of Fame ceremonies, select and honor the recipient, order the\u2064 fabrication of the star and place \u2062the star in the\u2062 sidewalk,\u2062 but the Chamber does not \u2063have the authority from any jurisdiction to permanently remove a star,\u201d said Ana Martinez, the chamber\u2019s vice president of media and talent relations. \u201cWe don\u2019t understand why people think we do \u200dhave that authority.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump received the star back\u2062 in 2007 at the height of his popularity during his time \u2063on the \u200btelevision\u2063 show \u201cThe Apprentice.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump is a racist, fascist, and a threat to our democracy,\u201d said\u200b Hugo Soto-Mart\u00ednez, who represents the LA district\u2062 where the Walk of Fame lies. \u201cSince there\u2019s no known precedent \u2063for removing \u2063a star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, \u200cwe\u2019re looking into where the authority lies, what\u200d the legal issues \u2062may \u200bbe, and \u2064what a process for it might look\u200c like.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rudick, however, claims that after years of research on the \u2063topic, he has concluded that the\u2064 City\u200d Council has the ability to remove a star. <\/p>\n<p>He suggested that the city attorney provide\u2062 a report outlining the procedure as\u200b the first step.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, on Rudick\u2019s personal X (Twitter) account, he does not shy away from expressing his hatred and fixation on the former GOP\u200d president.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter

This endeavor would \u200bmake Rudick\u200c the first individual\u200c to\u2064 attempt such a move.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past three years, Rudick, a resident of Hollywood Hills, has dedicated his time to filing requests for public records, obtaining \u200bcourt documents, attending city council meetings, and communicating with \u200delected officials. The Los Angeles Times reported on his persistent efforts to have Trump&#8217;s\u200d star removed from the Walk of \u200cFame.<\/p>\n<p>Rudick believes that keeping Trump&#8217;s star on the Walk \u200dof Fame sends a message of the \u200dcity&#8217;s \u2062endorsement of a man who attempted a coup against the United States. He expressed his concerns at a recent Los Angeles City Council meeting, where\u200c he \u200ccalled attention to the plaque and its implications.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2016, Trump&#8217;s star has required substantial repairs, amounting to over $20,000, due\u2063 to frequent vandalism and onlookers using\u200c tools to damage it. However, it remains unclear who\u2063 has \u2062the power to remove the \u2063star, as different organizations, including the City Council, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, and the Hollywood Historic Trust, have\u200c varying \u2063degrees of jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>Ana Martinez, the vice president of \u200bmedia and talent relations at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, clarified that while the Chamber has the authority to administer Walk of Fame ceremonies and select and honor recipients, they do not have\u2063 the \u200cpower to permanently remove a star. This further complicates\u200d Rudick&#8217;s\u2064 fight to have Trump&#8217;s star taken down.<\/p>\n<p>Trump \u2064was awarded the star in 2007 during the height of his popularity, thanks to his stint on the television show &#8220;The Apprentice.&#8221; However, \u2063opinions surrounding the former president have changed\u200c drastically since then. LA\u200b district representative Hugo Soto-Mart\u00ednez stated\u200d that they are currently exploring where the authority lies and what the legal issues would \u2063be in regards to removing a \u2062star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>Rudick maintains that \u2062the \u2063City Council has the ability to remove the star, citing extensive research on\u2062 the topic. As a\u200d first step, he suggests\u2063 that the city attorney\u2064 provide a report outlining the procedure for removal.<\/p>\n<p>On a personal note, Rudick does not shy \u200caway from expressing his \u200dstrong \u2062sentiments and fixation on the former president on his\u200c Twitter \u2064account. His tweets highlight his belief that honoring someone with a\u2063 star on \u200da public sidewalk should not be acceptable if they\u2064 are deemed \u2063a racist, fascist, and a threat to democracy.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy surrounding the removal of Donald Trump&#8217;s star from the \u2064Hollywood Walk of\u2063 Fame continues to gain attention. As Rudick spearheads this unprecedented effort, it remains to be seen whether his persistence will lead to any changes or if Trump&#8217;s star will remain \u2063a part of the iconic Walk of Fame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hollywood Walk of Fame honored Donald Trump with a star on January 16, 2007.
