Trump cameo role deleted in Canada for Christmas

Canada’s public broadcaster cut Trump’s brief appearance in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

The brief moment of US president's appearance was edited out of CBC’s Christmas Eve airing of the 1992 holiday hit.

Following an uproar over the deletion, the broadcaster issued a statement.

“As is often the case with feature films adapted for television, Home Alone 2 was edited for time. The scene with Donald Trump was one of several that were cut from the movie as none of them were integral to the plot. These edits were done in 2014 when we first acquired the film and before Mr. Trump was elected President,” the statement reads.
