Input: Following news this morning that Donald Trump ‘s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was smashed to pieces by an ax-wielding vandal, I couldn’t help but wonder why the face of The Apprentice has been honored with a star in the first place. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce , which bestows the sidewalk honors, has generally not been kind to the reality TV genre. A few years ago, it made it a point to mention that it doesn’t even have a category for reality TV after Kanye West complained that his reality-star wife, Kim Kardashian , didn’t have a star. 
  
 So why Trump and not Kardashian? According to Ana Martinez, the Walk of Fame’s spokeswoman, it’s not the reason you think. “He was selected for his producer job for his Miss Universe shows,” she tells me in an email. 
  
 So there you have it. Trump produced beauty pageants, and that counts. Still, Trump was honored with his star in 2007, at the height of his Apprentice fame, so the timing is curious. 
  
 Either way, the chamber said it will repair the star immediately.

 President Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed Wednesday morning by a man with a pickax that witnesses say he concealed in a guitar case, police said. 
  
 Officers were called around 3:30 a.m. to the star's location on Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue, where they found a small pile of rubble in place of the star that Trump received in January 2007 for his role in the NBC show "The Apprentice." 
  
 The star-smashing suspect, who reported the crime to police, later turned himself in to Beverly Hills police after leaving the pickax at the scene, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. He called police and said, "See you soon," Lt. Karen Leong of the LAPD's Hollywood Division told the Los Angeles Times. 
  
 The suspect was identified as Austin Clay, 24, who was booked on suspicion of felony vandalism. His hometown was not immediately available. 
  
 Bond was set at $20,000, according to jail records. An initial court date was not indicated in jail records and it was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney. 
  
 Witness David Palmer said he is accustomed to seeing the unusual on Hollywood Boulevard, where tourists mingle with street performers dressed as superheroes and other characters, but he was surprised to see the Walk of Fame vandalism. 
  
 "I'm like, 'Why are you hitting that star? What did Donald Trump do to you?'" Palmer told NBC4. "Then he went around the corner and I think he left." 
  
 Workers were sweeping up the shattered remains of the star early Wednesday. As daylight arrived, Walk of Fame visitors stopped to take pictures of the smashed star and have a closer look. One man placed an exercise pullup-bar on top of the crumbled remains, pieces of which some visitors kept as souvenirs. 
  
 "We came here a few days ago and there was some grafitti on it," said tourist Josh Kallen. "We didn't think anything like this would happen." 
  
  
  
 The Walk of Fame is administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which issued a statement later Wednesday morning. 
  
 Crews Clean Up Damage From Trump Walk of Fame Star Vandalism 
  
 Crews clean up the damage left behind by a vandal who smashed President Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star Wednesday July 25, 2018 with a pickax. It's expected to take several days before the star is replaced. (Published Wednesday, July 25, 2018) 
  
 "The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an institution celebrating the positive contributions of the inductees," said Leron Gubler, President-CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. "When people are unhappy with one of our honorees, we would hope that they would project their anger in more positive ways than to vandalize a California State landmark. Our democracy is based on respect for the law. People can make a difference by voting and not destroying public property." 
  
 Many visitors echoed that sentiment. 
  
 "I just think it's wrong," said visitor Greg Donovan, dressed in a red blazer and top hat, and carrying a "Trump 2020" sign. "If they don't like the president, they can show it in a different way." 
  
 Gubler said there appears to be security camera video of the vandalism. Repairs are expected to begin immediately, but usually requires several days. During past Walk of Fame vandalism cases, stars have been covered to protect them during the work. 
  
 This is at least the second time Trump's star has been vandalized in the last two years. 
  
 In October 2016, a man dressed as a construction worker smashed the star with a pickax and sledgehammer. James Otis pleaded no contest to felony vandalism in February 2017 and was sentenced to three years probation, 20 days of community service and agreed to pay $4,400 for the damage. 
  
 Also in 2016, the star was defaced by spray paint and even surrounded by an artist's 6-inch high wall, a miniature representation of then-candidate Trump's border wall proposal. 
  
 Walk of Fame star recipients are selected by a committee that considers hundreds of applications each year. The stars are purchased for $30,000, rather than gifted. ||||| HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA) — Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been destroyed again, this time by a man with a pickax, who turned himself into police about an hour later. 
  
 Police say the destruction was reported at about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, and the call was believed to have been made by the man who took a pickax to the star. All that was left of the star was a jagged hole in the ground, and pieces of concrete and the star were left strewn about the sidewalk by the time police arrived.

 Even in the pre-dawn hours, there were a number of witnesses to the destruction, including two security guards and a Walgreens worker who was on her way to work. 
  
 “I just seen a guy going to town on, I guess, the ground or whatever,” Patricia Cox said. “I didn’t know what was going on. 
  
 A guitar case was collected as evidence. It’s believed to be what held the pickax until the suspect took it out to destroy the star. 
  
 And as if the destruction wasn’t complete, graffiti was added to the destroyed star then covered with a chin-up bar just a few hours later. Curious pedestrians stopped to take pictures and video of the star’s remains, and some collected pieces of it as souvenirs. 
  
 A man turned himself in at the Beverly Hills Police Department at about 4:30 a.m. in connection with the destroyed star. He was later identified as Austin Clay and has been booked on suspicion of felony vandalism. 
  
 Passersby seem to be fatigued with the ire being directed at the star. 
  
 “Whether you like the man or not is completely inconsequential. You don’t do that to the Walk of Fame,” one man said. 
  
 It was a sentiment echoed by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which administers the Walk of Fame. 
  
 “When people are unhappy with one of our honorees, we would hope that they would project their anger in more positive ways than to vandalize a California State landmark,” the chamber said in a statement. 
  
 One man decided to stand guard over the star, holding a Trump 2020 sign. 
  
 “This is the second time. Something has to be done,” Gregg Donovan said. 
  
 Trump’s star had to be replaced after being vandalized in October 2016 by a man dressed as a construction worker. James Otis used a pickax and a sledgehammer then, and later pleaded no contest to felony vandalism. 
  
 On Wednesday afternoon, Otis told KCAL9’s Dave Lopez he was trying to raise bail money for Clay. 
  
 Since Trump announced his candidacy and his subsequent election, the star has been a magnet for visitors unhappy with the current political climate. It has been defaced by tourists and dogs, had a model of a border wall built around it, and covered with “I resist” stickers. 
  
 On July 11 this year, comedian George Lopez — using a small water bottle — pretended to urinate on Trump’s star. 
  
 The president received the star in 2007, while he was a producer and host of “The Apprentice.” |||||
Output:
Vandalism has once again hit President Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This time, a man who had a pickax hidden in a guitar case almost completely destroyed the star, reducing it to mostly rubble, NBC Los Angeles reports. The suspect left the pickax at the star and reported the incident to police himself, around 3:30am Wednesday, and later turned himself in. Graffiti was later added to the already-destroyed star, CBS Los Angeles reports. In 2016, a man used a pickax and sledgehammer to deface the star of then-candidate Trump (who received it in 2007 for his role as the Miss Universe producer, Fast Company explained in 2016). It has also been spray-painted, covered with stickers, and had a 6-inch-high wall placed around it to symbolize Trump's proposed border wall. It's not clear when repairs will begin this time around.
