I thought I read somewhere that @realDonaldTrump‘s star was not going to be replaced after pick-ax guy got done with it. Well it apparently was replaced — and this might be even better. https://t.co/BaumwP9Bid

“There have been calls to jail Trump since the day he was elected, and today he was certainly put behind bars—or at least his now infamous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was caged,” he told ArtNet News.

Although some Trump supporters did try to vandalise the bars, it “did appear to be stuck fast and were there several hours later,” he added.

“I wanted them to stay down but didn’t want a bill for thousands of dollars to repair the footpath,” he told HuffPost stating he used “industrial strength double-sided sticky tape” to fix it.

However, this is not the first time the artist has targetted Trump or his star. Earlier in 2016, he had erected a wall around the star as a protest when Trump proposed a wall on the US-Mexico border barrier. He was also responsible for the golden statue of Harvey Weinstein wearing a bathrobe ahead of Oscars 2018.
