AceShowbiz - U.S. President Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been decimated by a pickax-wielding critic.
A 25-year-old man was taken into custody early on Wednesday, July 25, after turning himself in to Beverly Hills Police Department for vandalising Trump's star.
TERRIBLE NEWS! I HAD TO cancel my National Security Briefing today after I found out MY star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed by a pickaxe last night! I'M VERY UPSET at this act of TERRORISM! Where was MY Secret Service? Why are they SO INCOMPITENT? #WednesdayWisdompic.twitter.com/eLa54YR7ND

Reports suggest the unnamed guy called cops to report the crime, but he had fled the scene by the time officials arrived to see the damage he had left behind.
Trump's star was previously destroyed by James Otis in 2016. He pleaded no contest to felony vandalism in February, 2017 and was sentenced to three years probation, 20 days of community service and agreed to pay $4,400 (GBP3,300) for the damage.
Trump was honoured with his star in 2007, at the height of his success on reality TV show The Apprentice.
