The Canadian Broadcasting Company recently aired the 1992 movie _Home Alone 2: Lost In New York_. One scene that was noticeably missing from the broadcast was a cameo appearance by real estate tycoon Donald Trump. In response to outrage over the cut, the network said that several scenes were cut from the broadcast to make room for more commercials and that removing Trump from the movie was not politically motivated. In support of this statement, the CBC noted that the cuts were made in 2014 before Trump started his presidential campaign.

As much as I’d love to snarkily point out the title of this forum, the point seems obvious to me. The clip was clearly a unessential scene cut for time in a movie aired in a completely different country, yet Trump supporters still got offended on behalf of Trump’s fragile ego. ---

In addition, the cut was made years ago along with several other cuts but Trump and many of his more ignorant supporters are being butthurt little crybabies about it only now. It’s interesting. ---
