Donald Trump needs you to know that he’s no Grinch.
Sure, he as soon as instructed a 7-year-old boy that believing in Santa is “marginal.” But the previous president insists he was nothing however gracious on the set of “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” after the movie’s director claimed that Trump compelled his way into a cameo.
On Wednesday, Trump addressed his blink-and-you’ll-miss-it function within the 1992 comedy in a lengthy post on Truth Social, his social-media platform.
“Director Chris Columbus, and others, were begging me to make a cameo appearance in ‘Home Alone 2,’ ” Trump wrote. “They rented the Plaza Hotel in New York, which I owned at the time. I was very busy, and didn’t want to do it. They were very nice, but above all, persistent. I agreed, and the rest is history!
“That little cameo took off like a rocket and the movie was a big success, and still is, especially around Christmastime,” he added. “People call me whenever it is aired.”
Columbus just lately instructed Business Insider that along with a regular taking pictures price, Trump would solely allow them to use the Plaza if he might make a cameo. “He did bully his way into the movie,” Columbus mentioned.
“Nothing could be further from the truth,” Trump wrote. “That cameo helped make the movie a success, but if they felt bullied, or didn’t want me, why did they put me in, and keep me there, for over 30 years? Because I was, and still am, great for the movie, that’s why! Just another Hollywood guy from the past looking for a quick fix of Trump publicity for himself!”
“Home Alone 2” made a whopping $359 million on the worldwide field workplace. It’s inconceivable to ever actually know the way a lot of that was fueled by Trump’s six-second, one-line cameo.
