Another user wants to predict who Donald Trump will be replaced by in the film: “BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump is digitally replaced by actor Christopher Plummer in “Kevin – Alone in New York”.“
A reference to when Christopher Plummer (91) stepped in for Kevin Spacey (61) at the last minute in “All the Money in the World” after Spacey was accused of sexual assault.
Regardless, Twitter users also digitally removed Trump from the clip themselves, while others made fun of his role in the film.

Columbus recalled: “Trump said OK [zu den Dreharbeiten im Hotel]. We paid the fee, but he also said, ‘You can only use the plaza if I’m in the movie.’“
