Hero ruins Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star with a pickaxe

Between diaper baby blimps and Trump impersonators holding live rats, it's a golden age for spectacularly dumb, exceptionally good anti-Trump art.

I'm a particular fan of the latest Dadaist masterpiece on display at the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. On Wednesday morning, an unknown man went to Trump's star and proceeded to destroy it with a pickaxe.

Someone should put this is the Louvre.

According to NBC Los Angeles reporter Jonathan Gonzalez, witnesses allegedly saw the man pull the pickaxe out of a guitar case, destroy the star, call the police to report the incident and flee the scene of the crime before turning himself in to the authorities.

This isn't the first time a person has vandalized Trump's star. In 2016, the star was covered with graffiti multiple times and decimated with a pickaxe.

Small victories are all we have right now, so enjoy this moment while it lasts.
