Canadian broadcaster edits Trump out of ‘Home Alone 2’

Eagle-eyed viewers are raking the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation over the coals for cutting President Trump’s cameo from the movie “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.”

Supporters of the president blasted the publicly funded broadcaster as suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” after noticing the scene missing from the 1992 holiday flick when it aired on the network this month.

“They’re so triggered by him that they had to edit him out of the film. Absolutely pathetic,” tweeted Ryan Fournier, the founder of Students for Trump.

“Talk about petty,” another person tweeted.

Some started using the hashtag #defundCBC over the scene scrap.

“You guys are the biggest bush league ‘journalists’ of all time,” tweeted one user. “Editing out Trump’s cameo in Home Alone 2. What kind of state-sponsored bulls–t it that?”

Another person wondered if this was all Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s doing.

“I bet ‘two faced’ Trudeau made the call directly to the @CBC and demanded they cut the scene… or maybe just black it out #DefundCBC,” wrote user @Texas4trump2020.

Trump called Trudeau “two-faced” after the prime minister was caught on video making fun of him to other world leaders earlier this month at the NATO summit in London. The gibe could also be a reference to Trudeau’s multiple blackface scandals.

Media blogs and Twitter users alike began noticing the cameo’s absence from the network’s showing of the film as early as December 2015.

Responding to the outrage, the CBC said the movie wasn’t edited for political purposes, but to allow for commercial breaks.

“As is often the case with features adapted for television, Home Alone 2 was edited to allow for commercial time within the format,” Chuck Thompson, head of public affairs at the CBC, said in a statement.

The edits “were done in 2014 when we first acquired the film and before Mr. Trump was elected president,” the statement said.

In the President’s cameo, the film’s star Macaulay Culkin walks into the Plaza Hotel, which was owned by the Trump Organization at the time of filming, and bumps into Trump. He then asks him for directions to the lobby.

“Down the hall and to the left,” Trump says before exiting the shot.

Reaction to the commander in chief being cut out has been mixed, with some viewers praising the move and others slamming it as politically motivated.

The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., even had a reaction, tweeting out Thursday morning “Pathetic,” with a link to a story on the purported slight.

The classic movie came up during Trump’s Christmas Eve video conference with members of the U.S. military from his Palm Beach club Mar-a-Lago, when a serviceman asked if “Home Alone 2” was his favorite holiday flick.

“Well I’m in ‘Home Alone 2,’” Trump said. “A lot of people mention it every year, especially around Christmas. It’s been a good movie and I was a little bit younger, to put it mildly. And it was an honor to do it.”
