Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star has two ‘Russian’ guards carefully standing watch over it, following a series of brawls that have broken out at the site over the course of the week.
The star became a hotbed of protest after an anti-Trump protester identified as Austin Clay, 24, reduced the star to rubble using a pick axe on Wednesday.
Following the pick axe attack, protesters both for and against the president flocked to the Hollywood monument to bicker over the star – some seeking to destroy it and others to protect it.
Its latest protectors are two men dressed as Russian guards, as spotted first on Wednesday.
After Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star was reduced to rubble by a protester with a pick axe, two men dressed as Russian soldiers have satirically stood guard over the disputed star
‘Two guys dressed as Russian soldiers in 90F heat to “protect” Trump’s Hollywood Walk Of Fame star from vandalism. That’s next level trollism!’ one Twitter user wrote sharing the image online on Saturday.
The image displays the two men in full Russian guard garb complete with green knee length coats, fur-trimmed hats, and holding up a Russian flag despite the sweltering LA heat.
The Soviet soldiers received their five minutes of fame on Jimmy Kimmel who aired footage of the duo stonily standing guard over the star.
‘That’s what comrades do for other comrades,’ Kimmel joked.
Trump has long denied Russian interference in his presidential election despite Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into the matter.
On Thursday evening physical fights broke out at the site when an anti-Trump protester used the n-word, according to TMZ, an act caught on camera.
No one was arrested following the brawl on Thursday night, TMZ reported, but plenty of chaos was caught on tape.

Singer/songwriter Joy Villa was at the star’s location near the corner of Hollywood and Highland, smiling next to a larger-than-life size Trump cutout and singing the national anthem.
Villa wore a pro-life dress to the Grammy Awards in January, featuring a depiction of a fetus surrounded by all the colors of the rainbow.
The video then cuts to a group of protesters started chanting, ‘F*** Donald Trump,’ with text over the footage that reads, ‘This is going to get ugly I have a feeling.’
Then, a Trump supporter can be seen confronting a man who repeatedly says the n-word.
‘I didn’t say e-r though,’ he says. ‘I can say n***a if I want to. I can say n***a if I want to.’
The Trump supporter then says, ‘Get out of my face,’ as the anti-Trump protester speaks loudly, saying, ‘What you gonna do?’ with his mouth just centimeters from the other man’s face.

The Trump star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a common spot for political unrest to boil over.
A call came in at approximately 3.30am Pacific on Wednesday reporting vandalism to the star, Los Angeles Police Officer Ray Brown told DailyMail.com.
This is the second time the star has been destroyed by someone using a pick axe.
The suspect, Clay, turned himself in to the Beverly Hills Police Department at around 4.30am, a BHPD spokesperson told DailyMail.com.
Clay was booked on suspicion of felony vandalism and was being held on a bond of $20,000.
Trump, who was honored with the star in January 2017, has not publicly commented on this incident of vandalism of the star.
Trump’s star has been defaced, demolished or otherwise tampered with many times since he declared his candidacy for president in 2015.
