The guy who directed Home Alone 2, where Kevin McCulkin is lost in New York, has become obsessed with wiping out the cameo in the film by now President Trump, calling it a “curse.”
In a recent interview withVariety, Chris Columbus (not that one) said he wishes he could memory hole the Trump appearance when he encounter’s the movie’s child protagonist inside the Plaza hotel.
Columbus claims that he has wanted it removed for more than three decades, whining “it’s become this curse. It’s become an albatross for me. I just wish it was gone.”

“It's become this curse. It’s become an albatross for me. I just wish it was gone. I can’t cut it. If I cut it, I’ll probably be sent out of the country. I’ll be considered sort of not fit… pic.twitter.com/T795TbFwBy
Columbus further whinged, “If I cut it, I’ll probably be sent out of the country.”
“Down the hall and to the LEFT (hand path)”

The article further notes that ”Columbus said in 2020 that Trump more or less “bullied his way into the movie.”
He added, “We paid the fee, but he also said, ‘The only way you can use the Plaza is if I’m in the movie.’ So we agreed to put him in the movie, and when we screened it for the first time the oddest thing happened: People cheered when Trump showed up on screen. So I said to my editor, ‘Leave him in the movie. It’s a moment for the audience.’”
Trump says that’s a load of BS and that they begged him to be in the film.
Columbus responded, saying he didn’t exactly beg, but that “we were desperate to get the Plaza Hotel.”
Respondents to the story noted that this officially makes Columbus the patient zero of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Give me a break. He could have gone with any other hotel if he felt bullied by Trump. In 1992 this was just a funny cameo where a lost kid doesn’t realize he’s talking to a famous rich businessman.

"People cheered when Trump showed up on screen." Seems like the most important detail.

Trump should buy a case of Home Alone 2 DVDs and hand them out to White House visitors.

It's the best scene in the movie.

Kevin Mckulkin? Did you want to say McCauley Kulkin, the actor – or Kevin McAllister, the character?
Never noticed Trump in the movie, until you pointed it out. All these years Trump has been living rent free in your head.
As a UK citizen, I hadn’t really heard much of anything about Trump, the businessman, until he won his first term. I didn’t have a clue he was in the movie. Guess I’m going to have to watch it again.
As for the idiot filmmaker, does it really matter how Trump got in the film? By the filmmaker’s own admission, the film did so much better because of it and the audience loved it.
Well tbf, who wants to be associated with a paedophile and a genocidal lunatic pissing away our money on every one except the american people. Eggs are still ten dollars, gas is still the same price and all he gives a shit about is israel and antisemitism. We had enough of that with biden. Its a bit of out goes the old boss and in comes the new boss.
Paedophile? I’m guessing you’re not from the US with that spelling, but where’s your evidence? Even circumstantial? No – thought not.
Did you just have a whole conversation with yourself there answering the questions in your own head?…..lol. Oh no evidence at all just the court case thats going on in the background that nobody is reporting on…lol. Also we have the recorded conversations of trump talking about his daughter like he wanted to fuck her , plus the pissing incident and multiple other examples. But you continue on with your blind faith, cognitive dissonance. Im sure it will reward you in the end.
