7. Per their quote, they need to purge the Walk of several other Stars as well. Why not?

Kevin Spacey, Cosby, etc

Their statement when asked about this last year, at the height of the MeToo movement, was this:
“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.”

So if they keep to this statement, trumps star will remain in place to be laughed at daily
