About Trump's Cameo Appearance in 'Home Alone 2'...

Trump was on Letterman before L
went stupid.

Trump made a cameo appearance in the movie “Two Weeks Notice”, as well.

I thought they only used his house, but Wikipedia says he made an appearance.

One wonders if Chris Columbus is being blackmailed over his fondness for “pizza”...

[irishjuggler]

I see Mr. Columbus on the street in San Francisco from time to time. He lives the life in one of the town’s poshest neighborhoods, and the Trump cameo is undoubtedly an uncomfortable fact for Columbus now among his limousine liberal friends and neighbors. So Columbus distances himself from his own movie to save face. Sad

A few years ago, I found this gif, but someone added “Excuse me, sir, but where can I find the covfefe?”

>But Trump said on Truth Social this week: “Nothing could be further from the truth.” He added that his appearance had given the film a considerable boost. “That cameo helped make the movie a success, but if they felt bullied, or didn’t want me, why did they put me in, and keep me there, for over 30 years? Because I was, and still am, great for the movie, that’s why! Just another Hollywood guy from the past looking for a quick fix of Trump publicity for himself!”

Please tell me that was meant as "tongue in cheek", seriously.

That’s just how Trump talks about everything he’s involved in.

People cheered when Trump showed up on-screen,” Columbus recalled. “So I said to my editor, ‘Leave him in the movie. It’s a moment for the audience.’ But he did bully his way into the movie.”

So, did you leave him in the movie because the audience liked it, or because he bullied you? You can't have it both ways...

[Secret Agent Man]

I’m sure now they will demand this small scene be removed from the movie.

[Lurker]

“I see Mr. Columbus on the street in San Francisco from time to time.”

I’d be hard pressed not to punch his lights out.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

From what I read several years ago was that is it part of the standard contract when filming at Trump Properties that the movie maker incorporate a Trump cameo, I think that is entirely believable. But whether they movie maker leaves it in the final cut it up to the editor. In Home Alone 2 it was/is a great scene.

I’m fairly sure I read that during 2020 cable channels running Home Alone 2 cut the scene from their broadcasts.

[Deplorable American1776]

Mr. Columbus needs to set sail in a leaky ship...

[Just mythoughts]

You are from Georgia, right? The cheating state under the Trans-Republicans and you have the ‘gall’ to ‘tongue in cheek’.... bash President Trump .... I pray for recompense to those of the Trans brains ....

[dforest]

I actually agree with Trump. This guy has never mentioned Trump in that movie until now?

He has because he knows it will trigger #nevertrumpers and mealy mouthed RDS’ers with TDS in order to create more division to help RATs.

[diverteach]

And how many movies did OJ appear in?

[1Old Pro]

Columbus had to admit that Trump’s appearance was wildly popular.

Nuff said.

“I’m fairly sure I read that during 2020 cable channels running Home Alone 2 cut the scene from their broadcasts.”

I recall that as well.
