The Donald Trump Hollywood Star meme refers to the frequently vandalized and subsequently cleaned star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. While the star has been the site of numerous protests and physical destruction since Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, the meme gained significant traction when supporters began posting photos of themselves cleaning or guarding the star. This spawned a wave of parodies where users photoshopped various objects, celebrities, or self-deprecating labels onto the star or the people tending to it. It is widely used to represent things people feel the need to defend or to mock the fervor surrounding political symbols in pop culture.
