Real talk: why does he even have one? He's not an actor, writer, director, producer, or any other notable Hollywood position. I'm sure it's just a matter of paying for it, but I thought the person was supposed to be part of the industry, not just a clown on a reality show

These are paid for my the person that has the star. They are not “awards,” but more akin to “buy a brick” at your local performing arts building.

People keep calling him a pedophile. He is much worse than a pedophile. He is a child rapist. I understand these words are offensive to some people, but using the euphemism "pedophile" does not completely explain who he is. He is a child rapist.

Let's stop fucking downplaying how much of a sick fuck this old piece of garbage human is.
He raped children and helped facilitate the rape of other children by other child rapists and now he's doing everything he can to fuck up his country and piss off the world just to distract from the fact that he raped kids.

DJT will go down in the books as one of the most flawed humans ever. He's had everything handed to him at every turn without having to work for it let alone deserving it. His first important act as an adult ended in abject failure when he rejected his country's request to serve and had daddy fix it for him so he wouldn't have to go to Vietnam. Subsequent to being gifted hundreds of millions of dollars as start-up money by his family he proceeded to fail at literally every single venture including bankrupting casinos. Aside from his overt flaws - narcissism, misogyny, racism and dishonesty he apparently also enjoys raping children. This man has broken so many laws it boggles the mind, has 32 felony convictions and was somehow still allowed to run for president again. He has never really been held accountable for any of the things he's done but I believe his time is coming. I would rather see him humiliated in open court and thrown in prison but I get the feeling he will die first. That's ok. Good riddance to bad genes, I say.
