After being chiseled and hammered to bits on more than one occasion, former Republican President Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame has once again been desecrated in the best way possible.

The star only just returned to Hollywood Boulevard in 2021 after previously being destroyed by anti-Trumpers in late 2020.

The two years of relative peace the star enjoyed since then came to an abrupt halt this week amid news of Trump's indictment on 38 felony counts for hoarding documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

This time, the star was left intact, but it's undergone a quintessentially Trumpian makeover.

The star was cordoned off with crime scene tape and decorated with a toilet and a bathtub. Inside said bathtub, stacks upon stacks of boxes full of documents marked "Top Secret" and "Classified."

This is, of course, in reference to the charges that may well send Trump to prison, for which he was indicted earlier this month.

British-American street artist Plastic Jesus took credit for the stunt, posting a photo to his Twitter account. The self-proclaimed "LA based guerrilla street artist" has fittingly titled the artwork "Top Secret."

Trump's Walk of Fame star has been the site of several acts of protest.

Starting in 2016, someone dressed as a Los Angeles city employee bashed it with a sledgehammer and a pickax just weeks before the election that would send him to the White House.

In 2018, it was again destroyed with a pickax, followed by a third pickax attack in 2020 by a person in an Incredible Hulk costume. The star was also vandalized with stickers with anti-Trump slogans and swastikas during his presidency.

As with those previous efforts, Plastic Jesus' street-art installation generated plenty of support on social media.








Seems like Plastic Jesus should retroactively receive some kind of art grant by the California government for his wonderful beautification efforts towards one of Los Angeles' most iconic civic gems.

Trump's Dismissive Reaction To Concerns About Insider Trading Amid His War With Iran Speaks Infuriating Volumes

In an article for CounterPunch titled "Trump’s Casino Royale: The Iran War," Matthew Stevenson wrote:

"Given that Donald Trump conceives of the presidency as a casino—why else would he be trying to makeover the White House to look like the Bellagio?—it makes sense that his administration has turned the war with Iran into an insider-trading scheme."
"It used to be that wars were fought to make 'the world safe for democracy' or 'to end all wars' (a World War I expression), but now wars are fought so that Trump insiders can get rich quick in prediction markets or to help the president’s family (and its remittance men) corner the Persian Gulf oil market."

Pointing out who is profiting off inflating oil prices and creating false scarcity, Stevenson added:
