This is how you get one: http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/07/16/how-to-get-a-star-on-the-hollywood-walk-of-fame/

Basically, be famous for five years running, come up with $30,000 and promise to be at the unveiling ceremony.

Stars have been removed and stored while sections of the sidewalk were renovated. Stars have been removed to have typos corrected. Stars have been removed to be repaired. In all these cases they were replaced. No stars have been revoked for cause and it is unlikely Trump's will be either.
