Donald Trump seems to be the most hated name in Hollywood. Even his Star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame has not been spared from the ire of his haters. Trump's star, which has been there since 2007, has become even more unpopular with tourists.
Many passersby, locals, and tourists who chance upon seeing his star near the Hollywood and Highland Center just can not stop reacting at something that makes them remember Trump's bursting personality.

Trump's star has been the victim of vandalism many times. It has been spray painted several symbols, including the swastika and a mute icon.
Even pedestrians reportedly greet Trump's star with defacing acts. Some would point at it with obscene hand gesture or take a picture while pretending to spit on it.
Among those who deface the star are Hispanics, a majority of whom utterly dislike him.
"We're Hispanic, so we don't like him, obviously," one visitor from Loveland, Colorado, said in an interview with Seattle Times.
"Bad signs, bad words," one tour guide also said.
"Everyday people get mad at him," noticed another observer.
Officials at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which maintains the Walk of Fame, remain adamant that they will not remove Trump's star.
"The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a registered historic landmark. Once a star has been added to the walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the walk," said Leron Gubler, president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.
