US president, Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood walk of Fame has been vandalized a couple of times and the vandals don't seem to be backing down anytime soon .

The star got hit again but this time around, with a toilet which had the word '' Take A Trump'' inscribed on it.

The golden toilet which was placed right next to Trump's star over the weekend, was filled something wet and filthy.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ  no one has reported the vandalism, and they're not yet investigating the toilet prank. The site also reached out to Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which oversees the stars' maintenance but so far no response from them.

This is the latest attempt to deface Trump's star on Hollywood Blvd. In October 2016, James Otis damaged the star with a pick axe and  just last month, someone scribbled "F*** Trump".

It is definitely going to be good healthy words that can calm the suicide victim. 
There is no way going to buying her an african wear, pizza or whatsoever will come in mind. Just some few great words said to her can change the state of her mind. You can imagine how powerful words are. Some people have taken their lives because of certain words said to them. Relationships are breaking because of the words used in communication. Some people feel useless because of the kind and type of words use on them. At the same time, some people are progressing in life because of the words they were told and still are.

The ads, in papers including The Times, The Guardian and Daily Telegraph, carry a list of 10 things to look out for when deciding if a story is genuine.
They include checking the article date and website address, as well as making sure it isn't intended as satire.
Facebook is under fresh political pressure to tackle fake news in the run up to the UK general election.
