Poll Suggestion: Face-Off: Walk of Fame or Walk of Shame (long term poll-series)
Intro (examplarily):
There is a petition running in Los Angeles about Donald Trump's star at the Walk of Fame in L.A. Approximately 4500 citizens signed that petitition to remove that Hollywood symbol, which caused 18.000 dollars for L.A. to remove damages done to it by vandalism. CBS Los Angeles reported it (newspage) on December 28, 2023. That resulted from the many accusations the former show master, business man and former president of the U.S.A. faced lately.
When you look at him would you rather keep or remove his star?
Please tell us here.
This is a Poll Series for asking audiences how they would decide about celebrities of movie, tv, cinema, music and so on, if there are openly questions about them. I start with Donald Trump, because the petition aming at the cancelation of his star at the Walk of fame is the most prominent issue at the moment. So how qould you decide in this situations, what would be your choice and do you have another case? Please report it here, please do a suggestion, if there is a case that could interest very many people.

Poll (Donald Trump): TBD

Frankly, they can do whatever they want with the star. That thing is worthless anyways. Celebrities must pay 75 000$ to have their stars. If you refuse to pay, no stars for you. It has no symbolic value whatsoever. It is a tourist-trap nothing more. The people behind that petition probably do not know how the system works. Otherwise, they would know that their petition will not bring any result. If the organizers are embarrassed by the star, they will ask trump to pay additional fee to keep it, if he does no pay, they will remove it. End of the story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee
Robert Edward Lee (January 19, 1807 – October 12, 1870)
was a Confederate general during the American Civil War,
toward the end of which he was appointed
the overall commander of the Confederate States Army.
He led the Army of Northern Virginia—
the Confederacy's most powerful army—
from 1862 until its surrender in 1865,
earning a reputation as a skilled tactician.
- - -
In Richmond, Virginia,
a large equestrian statue of Lee
by French sculptor Jean Antonin Mercié
was the centerpiece of Monument Avenue,
along with four other statues of Confederates.
This monument to Lee was unveiled on May 29, 1890;
over 100,000 people attended this dedication.
That has been described as
"the day white Virginia stopped admiring Gen. Robert E. Lee
and started worshiping him".
The four other Confederate statues were removed in 2020,
and the equestrian statue of Lee was removed on September 8, 2021,
at the direction of the state government.
- - -
A statue of Robert E. Lee was one of the two statues
(the other is George Washington)
representing Virginia in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
It was removed from the Capitol on December 21, 2020,
after a state commission voted to replace it
with a statue of Civil Rights activist Barbara Rose Johns.
Lee is one of the figures depicted in bas-relief
carved into Stone Mountain near Atlanta.
Accompanying him on horseback in the relief are
Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis.

@Breumaster He doesn't really have achievements as an actor does he? He has only appeared in cameos as himself. Perhaps the description for the "no" option should say show business (The Apprentice and Miss Universe producer) instead of actor.

@Breumaster due to his involvement with the Republican Party and the elections this year, we probably can't publish a Donald Trump poll at this time.
If you intend to do this a long term poll series, maybe you could post the next suggestions you had in mind instead of waiting for this one.
