Trump's Still Big. It's the Pictures That Got Small. Er.

Trump tells this annoying Kevin person exactly where he can go, like a real (TM) New Yorker would.
So, it looks like the President, who has definitely been impeached despite the opinion of a few lawyers (who are totally sucking up or trying to be special), is pretty sure that photogenic legacy-PM of Canada, Justin Trudeau, had a hand in the CBC's editing out of Trump's really brief cameo in that time-honored cinematic classic, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Because obviously, the 7 seconds he got as a part of a rider to film on his property were integral to the plot, and you know, you have to preserve the movie as made, so only politics could cause anyone to butcher a movie by editing out its biggest celebrity!

Especially someone with his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! (They don't just give those away, you know.  Nor can they just vote them away.  Even if people really, really wanted to.) 

I think it is definitely possible that Trudeau has no idea at all how hard someone like Trump has worked for the recognition he has received in Hollywood.  Does an IMDB page like this happen by accident? I should certainly think not! 

But just imagine if everyone did realize how hard Trump worked to be considered a celebrity and understood this to be a visible sore point with him, when he is not recognized for his genius at television and movies and all that? Ouch! Like, if actual movie stars understood his slights came from a place of sick jealousy? If more politicians understood the same?

That would be a terrible sore bunion for people to step on, would it not? But Trump needn't worry--there are some videos he hasn't been edited out of, I suppose, available where that sort of thing is traded. 

That could be some solace, or maybe not. I'm not very knowledgeable about such things, myself.
