Someone has vandalized Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star with an apparent backwards swastika.
Despite facing comparisons to Adolf Hitler, folks on Reddit have pointed out that the backwards symbol could be a "good swastika." Before it was appropriated by Nazi Germany, the swastika was a symbol for the Hindu and Buddhist faiths.
Trump received the star back in 2007 due to his "branding efforts, personal life, wealth, and outspoken manner" that have turned him into a celebrity.
An actor dressed up as Batman told The Wrap that he’s “never seen never seen this kind of hate put on a star before, not even Bill Cosby.” He also said that he "often sees people stomping or pretending to defecate on the star."
Last year, another vandal defaced the star with yellow graffiti.
“We regret that someone would deface a historic landmark,” Leron Gubler, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce CEO, told the Hollywood Reporter in September. “People who have a disagreement with Donald Trump should not take it out on the Walk of Fame. The star will be restored to its original condition as soon as possible.”
