Let’s build a wall!

Except, this one around the man whose idea it was?

7:00 AM

Hollywood sightseeers on the famous walk of fame were confronted with an unusual edition to Trump's Famous Star. Someone had built a 6" tall grey concrete wall around it. Complete with "Keep out" signs and topped with razor wire. The unofficial addtion to the icon star appeared early Tuesday afternoon, to the amusement of onlookers. There was no word as to who created the humorous installation. However the miniture wall was adorned with "STOP MAKING STUPID PEOPLE FAMOUS" which is believed to be the work of LA Street artist Plastic Jesus.

Sightseers on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame were met with an unusual addition to Trump’s star. Someone had built a 6-inch tall gray concrete wall around it, complete with “Keep out” signs and topped with razor wire. The unofficial addition to the icon’s star appeared early Tuesday afternoon to the amusement of onlookers. There was no word as to who created the humorous installation. However, the miniature wall was adorned with “STOP MAKING STUPID PEOPLE FAMOUS,” which is believed to be the work of Los Angeles street artist Plastic Jesus.

We all know about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it. He wants to keep out people trying to immigrate illegally and has no bones about sharing that opinion with the whole world. If you watched last week’s Republican National Convention, you know as much.

However, while the GOP was going at it with each other in Cleveland, an artist by the name of Plastic Jesus was in these Hollywood streets building a wall of his own. Specifically, one around Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Why he has one? Who knows.

This wall is genius, however.
