Trump Insists He Didn't Bully His Way Into 'Home Alone 2' Cameo
HuffPost
Donald Trump and the movie's director have two very different recollections of how he ended up in the film.
Christmas has passed, but Donald Trump is keeping his festive mood alive by beefing with the director of a movie he appeared in for seven seconds more than 30 years ago.
The former president blasted out a Truth Social missive on Wednesday attacking Chris Columbus, who directed the Christmas classics “Home Alone” (1990) and “Home Alone 2” (1992).
Trump made a brief appearance in the sequel during a scene at New York City’s Plaza Hotel, which he owned at the time.
In an interview with Business Insider in 2020, Columbus said that Trump would only allow the film to be shot at the hotel if he could appear in it, and that the future president essentially bullied his way into the movie.
That tidbit was recirculated online this week, and evidently caught Trump’s eye.
