Article snippet: Donald Trump Jr. called the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) “absolutely pathetic” for cutting his father’s cameo scene from its broadcast of the film Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. “Imagine being so ‘triggered’ that you can’t even leave a Christmas movie alone without editing,” he added. “Absolutely pathetic,” said Trump Jr. on Instagram. “The liberal media like [CBC] is where Trump Derangement Syndrome manifests itself fully.” He continued: CBC had removed a ten-second cameo scene from the 1992 film, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York — which shows Donald Trump giving Kevin McCallister (played by Macaulay Culkin) directions to the hotel lobby. Trump Jr. was not the only one to express his dismay over the deleted cameo appearance. Other users on social media sounded off, with some even calling for the state-funded broadcasting company to be defunded. CBC suggested that it deleted the cameo scene featuring President Trump in order to make time for commercials, telling ComicBook.com, “As is often the case with features adapted for television, Home Alone 2 was edited to allow for commercial time within the format.” According to PJ Media, however, the first time someone on Twitter had mentioned they noticed Trump’s cameo appearance was missing in CBC’s version of Home Alone 2 was in December 2015, just six months after Donald Trump had formally announced that he was running for President of the United States.
