Actor Shia LaBeouf was able to get European taxpayers involved in his pouty protest against America’s new president — only to have the project canceled for the fourth time.

The actor, who is 30, set up a protest exhibit at the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT) in Liverpool, England — for just one day. It displayed a white flag with the phrase “He Will Not Divide Us” written on it. The art piece has gone through a rocky past couple of months, as it was shut down at multiple locations and even led to LaBeouf’s arrest at one point for assault.

The U.K.’s FACT announced this week it was “pleased to be able to offer the support that the project needs” — and LaBeouf’s project moved there on March 22. In a statement later posted to Twitter, the group said the anti-Trump installation was being shut down due to “dangerous, illegal trespassing.” That makes two countries that have no interest in LaBeouf’s shenanigans.

As Breitbart noted, taxpayers support this cinema and art gallery through the Arts Council England’s National Portfolio and Liverpool City Council’s Culture Liverpool Investment Programme — meaning LaBeouf’s protest of an American president was coming at the expense of British taxpayers.

LaBeouf has grown up a lot since his time starring on the Disney Channel series “Even Stevens” in the early 2000s. But this project has become a bit ludicrous.

To protest the election of President Donald Trump, LaBeouf originally created a “He Will Not Divide Us” livestream outside the New York Museum of Moving Image; it started the day Trump took office. People could walk up to the camera and state, “He will not divide us.” After being closed down when the exhibit began attracting political protester types (the museum said there were safety reasons behind the closure, as violent threats and numerous arrests had been made on site) — LaBeouf moved his protest party to two other places before finally landing in England, his fourth location.

Police arrested the actor in January for allegedly assaulting a man after getting into an argument outside the New York museum’s livestream. LaBeouf is due in court on April 4 for a misdemeanor assault charge.

LaBeouf’s intention was to continue his New York livestream for the full four years of Trump’s term as president. Clearly that didn’t last. The livestream’s second location was in Albuquerque, New Mexico — which was abandoned in February for safety reasons after gunshots were reported nearby.

Then the exhibit moved to a third (though undisclosed) venue before also closing — only to be followed by a similar series of actions now in Liverpool.

The official website for the project states it is meant to exemplify “resistance” and “optimism” — but the endeavor has clearly had the opposite effect.
