Trump himself before becoming President of “Uncle Sam’s country” was well known as a businessman in New York City.
“We want to shoot in the lobby,” said Columbus recalling his conversation with Trump.
“We can’t rebuild The Plaza on stage,” he continued.

“We paid the fare, but he said, ‘The only way you can use the Plaza is if I’m in the film’,” Columbus said imitating Trump’s words at the time.
“So we agreed to put it in the film.”
It is not known exactly how many times Trump appeared on Home Alone 2, but he said Trump’s appearance was very entertaining to the audience.

“So I said to the editor, ‘Leave him in the film. This is a moment for the audience.’ But he did force his way into the film.”
