Trump’s guest appearance in the 1992 film has always amused many TV viewers in the past. But after his incitement to storm the Capitol and his expulsion from Twitter, the desire has now arisen to delete this scene from the film comedy.

A fan has now complied with the request. He made Trump unrecognizable in that scene. His editing, which should remind German viewers in particular of how RTL dealt with Michael Wendlers in the current “DSDS” season, even reached leading actor Macaulay Culkin. “Bravo,” he wrote on Twitter.

Bravo.

The actor also liked an idea from art director Rachel Lobaugh. She had proposed a petition to replace Trump’s appearance with recordings of Culkin, now 40. Culkin then wrote: “Bought!”

Without a Trump scene – no scene in the Plaza Hotel

Trump’s guest appearance in the classic film has long been the subject of discussion. Canadian television already showed a version without Trump in December 2019. At the time, the broadcaster CBC cited airtime reasons. Any political background was rejected because the cuts had already been made in 2014. The Trump family was anything but enthusiastic about it. Presidential son Donald Trump Jr. described the cut on Twitter as “pathetic”.

On the other hand, it seems unlikely that the scene was cut from the film at all. Because the director of the “Kevin” films, Chris Columbus, reported in an interview that Donald Trump had insisted on a guest appearance. Otherwise the team would not have been given permission to film in the Plaza Hotel.
