The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which operates the Walk of Fame and determines who gets a star, says the protests won’t change anything: there is no chance Trump’s star will be removed. In recent months, the chamber rebuffed calls to remove disgraced comedian Bill Cosby’s Star from the Walk of Fame, too.
The Walk is a registered landmark and, thus, Leron Gubler, the president and chief executive of the chamber has said, shouldn’t be changed.
“We have never removed a star,” he said.
Each time Trump’s star is defaced, and it is reported, the chamber dispatches someone to clean it up. So the mute button and the swastika did not stay for very long — though each can be found memorialized on the Internet.
