In a recent Twitter feud, former President Donald Trump found himself embroiled in controversy over his cameo appearance in the Christmas classics “Home Alone” and “Home Alone 2”. The director of the films, Chris Columbus, accused Trump of bullying his way into the movies, while Trump vehemently denied these claims.
Trump’s brief appearance in “Home Alone 2” during a scene at the Plaza Hotel, which he owned at the time, has become iconic. However, Columbus claimed in a 2020 interview that Trump essentially strong-armed his way into the film, using his ownership of the hotel as leverage.
Taking to his newly created social media platform, Truth Social, Trump responded to Columbus’ allegations, dismissing them as false. He argued that if the filmmakers truly felt bullied or didn’t want him, they would not have included his cameo in the movie for over 30 years.
Columbus later confirmed that Trump’s version of events was indeed accurate. The director explained that they had agreed to include Trump in the movie after he demanded it as a condition for shooting at the Plaza Hotel.
This incident regarding his cameo in “Home Alone 2” is not the first of its kind for Trump. The former president has a history of demanding cameo appearances in film and TV productions that were shot in his buildings. These requests have often generated controversy and raised questions about whether the cameos were necessary or merely self-promotion.
In 2019, a Canadian broadcast of “Home Alone 2” omitted Trump’s scene, leading both Trump and his son, Donald Jr., to express their disappointment on Twitter. However, it is important to note that this scene had been removed from the broadcast as early as 2014, well before Trump entered the political arena.
As the feud continues to unfold on social media, it seems that Trump’s cameo in “Home Alone 2” will remain a subject of controversy and debate. Only time will tell if this incident will have any lasting impact on the legacy of the beloved Christmas film and its connection to the former president.
