Culkin Breaks His Silence On Removing Trump From Home Alone 2

Rating: 4; Vote: 2

In the United States of America, an historically bizarre series of events has been unfolding. When the sitting president, Donald Trump, helped to foment public outrage with false claims of election tampering, it led to a violent insurrection by right-wing protesters who descended on the U. S. Capitol, resulting in destruction, theft, and multiple deaths. Those events took place on January 6, 2021. Two days later, Twitter made the decision to permanently ban Trump from the social media platform, with TwitterSafety writing: . we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence. While people online debated the benefits and drawbacks of that decision, the House of Representatives immediately set to work on drafting up Articles of Impeachment. And on January 13, 2021, Trump became the only president in United States history to be impeached twice. In the midst of all of that, a question arose: If we can hypothetically remove Trump from office mere days before he would be leaving anyway, what else can he be removed from? The answer, as usual, comes from Twitter, where someone had the bright idea to propose removing Trump's brief cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Priorities, right? The idea went one step further than just removing Trump from the movie. Instead of just deleting the scene, one Twitter user made the case for giving young Kevin an eerie vision of the future, calling for: [A] petition to digitally replace Trump in Home Alone 2 with 40-year-old Macaulay Culkin. Macaulay Culkin, star of the first two Home Alone films, is very internet savvy. He's collaborated with multiple people in recent years to create comedic content -- much of which pokes fun at his most famous role. It's safe to say that the former Kevin McCallister still has a lot of fun with Home Alone hot takes. Naturally, that means people can't feel truly assured that Donald Trump should be removed from Home Alone 2 until the star himself gives his blessing. And guess who showed up to do just that? After much discussion, Culkin weighed in on the original tweet, responding with one simple word: Sold. But how did that surprise cameo in Home Alone 2 even happen in the first place? It probably won't come as a surprise to hear that Donald Trump was more responsible than anyone else for his brief cameo in Home Alone 2. In an interview with Insider, Home Alone director Chris Columbus revealed the entire oddball story behind Trump's brief moment in the film, saying: Like most locations in New York City, you just pay a fee and you are allowed to shoot in that location. We approached The Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time, because we wanted to shoot in the lobby. We couldn't rebuild The Plaza on a soundstage. Trump said okay. However, in what also won't come as a surprise to many, Trump's go-ahead came with a somewhat self-centered catch. Columbus went on to say: 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. ' But he did bully his way into the movie. So, what are the chances that Disney actually would digitally remove Trump and replace him with an older Macaulay Culkin? The Home Alone franchise is a Fox property, which means it's also, now, a Disney property. And if there's one thing we know about Disney+, it's that the people behind the platform don't mind editing old movies to include weird stuff. The classic Tom Hanks mermaid comedy Splash, for example, has a scene where Darryl Hannah's butt has been digitally hidden by CGI hair, as she runs towards the ocean. Suffice to say, there was no such CGI in the original film. As for a Macaulay swap in Home Alone 2? Well, the chances aren't great, but it's certainly worth noting that Trump's cameo was already cut from Canadian broadcast network CBC's airing of Home Alone 2 as far back as 2014, according to The Guardian. Who knows? Maybe next year we'll be watching this Christmas classic on Disney+ with a few seconds missing. Watch the video to see Culkin break his silence on removing Trump from Home Alone 2.

People are missing the part where they had already paid the fee to shoot there BEFORE the orange fool said put me in the movie or gtfo. That s not good business. It s predatory. Once they paid their fee, that should ve been the end of it. Imagine paying for food in a drive thru but the person working the window says you gotta let me eat 2 of your fries before I hand you your bag. Same principle applies. He bullied his way into the film. Period.

This feels like burying skeletons, Trump didn't just manifest himself into presidency, he's in part a byproduct of media influence and the American culture of wealth and billionaire worship, I say own your mistakes instead of pretending they never happened, he's just has much part of America as anything else.

The left have lost their minds. Changing history. Removing anything they don't like. Tearing down statues, burning buildings down, looting, rioting, neighbors snitching on neighbors. Controlling all social media and all mainstream news. Sounds a lot like Nazi Germany to me. America is now run by Nazis.

Trump has become a catalyst for being the bag guy.
Not once did he tell anyone to storm the capitol. He even went on to denounce any and all actions. Enough is enough.
Why keep making him pay when he's paying enough already?

yea, he bullied his way into your movie as much as you bullied your way onto his hotel. people cheered, so people liked it, he made your movie better even if its just the slightest, and not just with the cameo but with the location

Armed
Empty inauguration protected by 20, 000 troops to swear in someone who won an election in the middle of the night and was also awarded his electoral votes in the middle of the night. Yup, everything s definitely on the up and up there.
