How did Donald Trump respond to the speculation that he bullied his way into the film?
Forget the old arguments about whether “Love Actually” or “Die Hard” are really Christmas movies — there’s a new Christmas movie debate, and it stars none other than former President Donald Trump. In recent days, rumors have been swirling around social media that Trump had somehow bullied his way into a cameo appearance in the beloved holiday film “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.” However, the man himself has spoken out to debunk this theory, claiming that “nothing could be further from the truth.”
The rumors began when some Twitter users noticed that Trump’s cameo had been briefly edited out of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s (CBC) broadcast of the movie. This led to speculation that the network had deliberately removed Trump’s scene due to his controversial presidency and subsequent impeachment.
The theory gained traction, and people started sharing screenshots of the edited scene on social media. Some users even claimed that Trump’s cameo had been removed from the movie entirely. This sparked a wave of debate, with some arguing that Trump’s appearance should be removed for political reasons, while others defended his right to be included in the film.
However, in a recent interview with The Western Journal, Trump vehemently denied the rumors that he had somehow forced his way into the movie. He stated, “I was a little bit surprised when I saw that they took it out, but that’s okay. I guess they have the right to do that. I didn’t like what they did, though, because what they did is they take a young, very successful child actor, and to take that away from him, I think that was very mean.”
Trump went on to explain that his appearance in the film happened organically, as he happened to be filming at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, which served as a backdrop for many scenes in the movie. According to Trump, the decision to include him in the film was made by the director, Chris Columbus, and there was no insistence or pushing from his side.
The former president also expressed his disappointment at the current state of political correctness, suggesting that removing his cameo was an example of “censorship.” Trump stated, “But just I wish they would leave ‘Home Alone 2’, because that’s one of the all-time great movies, and it’s a shame. It’s a shame, but it’s their loss.”
It is worth noting that other versions of the movie, including the US broadcast and the DVD release, still feature Trump’s cameo. This seems to further support his claim that his appearance was not forced or coerced.
As the debate surrounding “Home Alone 2” continues, it is important to separate fact from fiction. While some may oppose Trump’s presence in the film, it is clear from his own words that his cameo was not the result of any sort of bullying or manipulation.
In the end, it is up to each viewer to decide whether Trump’s cameo should remain in the movie or not. As the holiday season approaches, perhaps it is time to put aside these debates and focus on the joy and nostalgia that “Home Alone 2” brings to so many. After all, isn’t that what Christmas movies are all about?
