Donad Trump is reportedly getting some special Presidential protection for his Hollywood Walk of Fame Star following the vandalism attack on it last month.
According to a sensational report by TMZ, the LAPD will soon have two officers and one vehicle patrolling the area in Hollywood Boulevard 24/7. Not only that, there will reportedly be a surveillance camera installed at a shopping mall nearby and private security looking out for suspicious civilians who could be another vandal.

The LAPD, however, was quick to dismiss such reports, saying:
"We always have patrol in the area. There are no officers dedicated to guarding his star. The officers in the area always make sure they are visible."
What's true though is that Trump's new star currently has a protective barrier around it--security lines and standees--to keep unauthorized people out while the new cement dries up.
You may remember that the original star had been defaced by a man dressed as a construction worker in the morning of Oct. 26, as seen in a video obtained by Deadline Hollywood.
The man, who has been charged with a felony, was later identified as 52-year-old Jamie Lambert Otis and had confessed to trying to get the brass emblem in order to auction it off to benefit women who have allegedly been sexually assaulted by Trump.
"I don't think Mr. Trump deserves that star any longer," Otis said in a video admission, where he also said he was angry at Trump for the vulgar comments that he was recording saying in 2005.
The new president-elect and real estate mogul got his star back in 2007 for his work in the Miss Universe pageants.
