Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation removed a cameo scene that featured an appearance from
Trump in its broadcast of the movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
A
ten-second scene in Home Alone 2 depicting Trump giving Kevin McCallister directions
to the lobby of the hotel — was removed by CBC (Canadian Broadcaster
Corporation).
The
Home Alone 2 character played by Macaulay Culkin said, ‘Excuse me, where is the
lobby?’
Trump
responds, ‘Down the hall to the left.’

Soon
after, Social media was buzzing, with people tweeting about how they saw that
Trump was missing from the film version that aired specifically on Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation.
Several
people pointed out that Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is state-funded, and implied
that the broadcasting corporation be defunded.
Some
Twitter users were happy to see that Canadian Broadcasting Corporation removed
the United States president from the movie.
However,
CBC suggested they deleted the scene to make room for more commercials.
Said
CBC, according to ComicBook.com, as is frequently the case with features that
are adapted for TV, the film was edited to permit commercial time inside the
format.
Notes
PJ Media, ‘Here is where the explanation fails the smell test. ‘Trump announced
his campaign formally in June of 2015. The first time the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation’s cutting of Donald Trump’s appearance was acknowledged on Twitter was during
Christmastime of that year.’
