The West Hollywood City Council doesn’t think that Donald Trump deserves his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and after the latest vandalism, they want it removed. Because Trump, naturally.

The vote was unanimous, of course.

But just wait a minute. This resolution, by the West Hollywood City Council’s own admission, is absolutely meaningless. Why? The Hollywood Walk of Fame isn’t located in West Hollywood. It’s in Hollywood, and under the jurisdiction of… the Los Angeles City Council!

The city council confirmed to The Hill that it “voted unanimously to approve” the resolution, which urges the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove the marker.

The council now plans to send a formal letter to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (D), the Los Angeles City Council and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for consideration, ABC News reported Tuesday morning.

Not that anyone casually scanning the headlines would actually realize that.

The West Hollywood City Council passing a resolution to ask the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for Donald Trump’s star to be removed is the equivalent of the Los Angeles City Council passing a resolution to ask the Anaheim City Council to fix a ride at Disneyland. It. Is. Meaningless.

The reactions are priceless, once you realize that the West Hollywood City Council has zero authority to actually do anything.

Exciting news: West Hollywood Council Passes Resolution to Remove President Trump's Walk of Fame Star – forever.

Donald Trump's Walk of Fame star has been removed and will not return. Finally, some decency in America. https://t.co/4A4HbP0YzW

How about replacing it with someone who really earned it? Like @carrieffisher https://t.co/f1XMXanpWP

Some people tried to point out the problem.

This is incorrect tweeting. The West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce DOES NOT have the authority to remove a star..The passed a resolution to ASK the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove it. It is unlikely since the new replacement star is almost finished!

The West Hollywood Council does not have authority over the Walk of Fame, so the vote is largely symbolic.

Again, another media organization fails to properly understand this means nothing since WeHo isn’t the same as Hollywood.

First of all West Hollywood has no jurisdiction over Los Angeles property. Hollywood is in Los Angeles as Hollywood is no longer its own area. Remember I used to live in this hell hole and know the facts no matter what propaganda they are trying to push! https://t.co/p2s01MNAUE

But it doesn’t matter. They’re rolling.

Sad about Trump's Walk of Fame star, but in fairness he's not the first troll to be rejected in West Hollywood.

Now that Donald Trump's unwarranted star on the Walk Of Fame will be removed, can we return back to my idea of having a Porta-potty there with a Donald Trump star on the side of it, to which people can both piss on it and inevitably destroy it over time?#TuesdayThoughts

Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk Of Fame star has been permanently removed forever.

Hell yeah.

And that’s not even getting into the obvious hypocrisy issues.

And Kevin Spacey’s? Scotland Yard has six active investigations open for him now. And Bill Cosby? Convicted of sexual assault. Their stars are nearby. https://t.co/Wllkg1Inr9

The problem with purges historically is that one political side enjoys them until they can’t stop them. The founders of any revolution usually end up next in line to the guillotine. https://t.co/a3XMUWtW3o

*NEW:
Hollywood, the place that gave fugitive child rapist Roman Polanski an Oscar, wants to remove President Trump's Walk of Fame star on moral grounds.
Where do I even start with this level of hypocritical nonsense?

Well, everyone needs to simmer down, because the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has already addressed this issue.

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has received inquiries asking whether we are planning to remove the stars of Walk of Famers because of alleged misconduct. The answer is no,” said Leron Gubler, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. “The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a registered historic landmark. Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk.”

In addition, Yahoo was provided a statement from the late Johnny Grant, who chaired the Hollywood Walk of Fame Committee for many years and responded with the following when asked the same question: “Stars are awarded for professional achievement to the world of entertainment and contributions to the community. A celebrity’s politics, philosophy, irrational behavior, or outrageous remarks have never been cause to remove a Walk of Fame star.”

So, Donald Trump’s star is not going to be removed, and each time it is vandalized, the Hollywood Historic Trust, a 501(c)(3), will pay to have it replaced. And the last time the star was destroyed, the Hollywood Historic Trust and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce each received the fines from the conviction. Replacing the star costs the taxpayers… nothing. Except the money involved in prosecuting these morons each time they decide to “make a statement” by destroying property that doesn’t belong to them or the public.

Congratulations, West Hollywood City Council. Your virtue signaling is impeccable and worthless.
