Have y’all heard the recent hullabaloo about Trump’s 7 second scene in Home Alone 2 being cut by the Canadian Broadcasting Company?
There has been some outrage about that.

You guys, when I first heard his scene had been cut, I’m not gonna lie – I jumped STRAIGHT to the conclusion that it was cut out of pure TDS and spite. I mean, OF COURSE I went there – because there are no limits to the idiocy that Trump Derangement Syndrome-inflicted people have.
But CNN couldn’t bear for people to think that people hate Trump enough to cut his scene maliciously, so they put out this article.
CNN wants you to know the FACTS, you guys. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!
Here’s what they say:
The CBC edited out multiple scenes from “Home Alone 2” to shorten the two-hour movie for television — eight minutes in all, the CBC says…Trump was not cut as Canadian retribution for his policies in office: He has been omitted from the CBC version since at least 2015, the earliest we could find viewers tweeting about the deletion. CBC says it actually cut the Trump cameo in 2014, before Trump launched his presidential campaign in June 2015.
The CBC actually responded to all of this hullabaloo too, saying, “As is often the case with feature films adapted for television, ‘Home Alone 2’ was edited for time. The scene with Donald Trump was one of several that were cut from the movie as none of them were integral to the plot. These edits were done in 2014 when we first acquired the film and before Mr. Trump was elected President.”
I mean, fine. If that’s legit the reason it was edited, then whatever. BUT, imagine if you will – the CBC cutting out that scene had, say, OBAMA been in it.
I’m just saying, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, is all. And CNN wouldn’t be rushing to fact-splain us.
