Trump Mocked on Hollywood Walk of Fame

A street artist who goes by the name "Plastic Jesus" has taken credit for mocking former President Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star.

The L.A. based artist took to Twitter to share a photo of passersby taking photos of his work. The artist had added a toilet and bathtub filled with 'top secret' boxes near the star, which was squared off with 'crime scene do not cross' tape. 

The art installation is a recreation of the scene found at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, which led to Trump's indictment on federal charges.  The artist wrote on Twitter: "'Top Secret' Street Artist 'Plastic Jesus' hits out at Trump's document scandal."

Many on Twitter praised the artist's work calling it "awesome" and saying they "love it".  Described by some as the "Banksy of L.A." Plastic Jesus last gave a public interview to Sungenre back in 2017.   Retired NSCUniversal executive Mike Sington called the artist "brilliant" and a "genius" after tweeting a picture of the work.  Even Star Wars actor Mark Hamill tweeted about Plastic Jesus' work, quipping, "There goes the neighborhood!"
