Tejano music star José Roberto Pulido Jr. posted a video defacing President Donald Trump’s Hollywood star in 2016 as he now runs for Congress in Texas’ 15th district.
Nearly a decade before launching his run for Congress, Tejano musician Bobby Pulido filmed himself defacing President Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star — a stunt that’s resurfacing as the award-winning singer seeks a U.S. House seat in South Texas.
The video, originally posted to Instagram, depicts Pulido urinating on Trump’s plaque with the caption, « when you gotta go, you gotta go. »
Although Pulido has marketed himself as a bipartisan candidate, this isn’t the first time he has made provocative acts of protest against the president — and Republicans.
Pulido is best known for Tejano, or Mexican–Spanish folk-style, songs like « Desvelado » and « Se Murió de Amor », and received five nominations for a Latin Grammy Award, winning Best Tejano Album in 2025 and 2022.
He announced in 2024 he would forgo his longtime music career to pursue elected office.
