AceShowbiz - Donald Trump has had at least one of his dreams come true even before he's elected as the new President of the U.S. On Tuesday afternoon, July 19, street artist who goes by the name Plastic Jesus installed a mini wall around Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
"I built and paid for the wall myself. No Mexican money," the artist wrote on Twitter along with a photo of onlookers taking pictures of his street art installation. He also posted on Instagram, "Hollywood sight-seers on the famous walk of fame were confronted with an unusual edition to Trump's Famous Star. Someone had built a 6" tall grey concrete wall around it. Complete with 'Keep out' signs and topped with razor wire. The unofficial addition to the iconic star appeared early Tuesday afternoon, to the amusement of onlookers."

To ABC, the artist says he built the tiny wall "to air my opinions about this idea that Trump has about building a wall." The street artist, who says he's a former British journalist who has been living in Los Angeles for nine years, says while he's "got nothing against Donald Trump" personally, he thinks "his idea of isolating the U.S. is idiotic really."
"The U.S. is made up of immigrants - how you can build a wall to supposedly protect the nation is just crazy," he adds. "I'd say 99.9 per cent of the feedback I've got is good ... I have got the occasional insult but you kind of tend to expect those."
Plastic Jesus, who says he's against Trump's "policies and the culture he's trying to create in America," reveals that he "previously put a load of No Trump anytime signs. I put them in NY, Chicago, Washington DC and LA."
Throughout his campaign, Trump has expressed his idea to build a wall on the border between the U.S. and Mexico to stop illegal immigration and he insisted that "Mexico will pay for" it.
