A clip of a dog relieving itself on Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles has gone viral, with critics sharing the video across social media and jokingly hailing the animal as a four-legged 'Nobel Peace Prize laureate'.
The US president received his star in 2007 for his work on the Miss Universe pageant and reality showThe Apprentice, well before his entry into politics. Since his first presidential run in 2016, Trump's star has attracted vandalism, petitions and protests, turning what was once a fairly conventional show business honour into a lightning rod for political anger.
In the latest episode, the dog, apparently out for an unremarkable stroll, is seen circling briefly before squatting squarely over Trump's terrazzo-and-brass star and defecating. The clip, which appears to have been shot on a phone by a passerby, offers no commentary.

US filmmaker and outspoken Trump critic Morgan J Freeman, who emphasised that he is not related to actor Morgan Freeman, shared the footage on X with the deadpan line: 'For the first time in history, a dog has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.' The throwaway gag landed. The post was quickly reposted thousands of times, with replies ranging from gleeful to faintly horrified.
One commenter wrote: 'Even the dog knows dude's a s--t president.' Another declared that the canine had 'the best intuition.' A third suggested that 'dogs are wonderful judges of character,' while someone else raised the stakes further, joking, 'Best dog ever? Nah... this one just raised the standard for all dogs.'
Who’s a good girrrll? YOU’re a goood girrrrlllll
the Nobel Pίss Prize you mean Sir
This is far from the first time Donald Trump's star has become a canvas for dissent. As his political profile rose, the Walk of Fame marker, embedded in the pavement among hundreds of actors, musicians and television personalities, began to attract everything from stickers and scrawled insults to more serious attempts at destruction.
Trump would hate if you shared this, BTW
