Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been vandalized yet again and the city council is considering removing it. Meh. I can see that. If it is just going to get the sledge hammer treatment every few weeks, it might be best to remove it. However, that isn't the reason provided by the council.
The City Council will consider adopting a resolution urging the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove President Donald J. Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, due to his disturbing treatment of women and other actions that do not meet the shared values of the City of West Hollywood, the region, state, and country.
That is a dangerous precedent. Is the council going to remove Bill Cosby? James Franco? Tavis Smiley? Jeffery Tambor? Brett Ratner? Kevin Spacey? Oliver Stone? All have been accused of 'disturbing treatment' against both women or men. Gee, that makes it sound like these are shared values of West Hollywood. In any case, if the council is going to yank Trump's star for the listed reason, these others should also be on the chopping block. If not, sounds like a double standard.
