Tempest In A Teapot

[weltschmerz]

Oh, good grief!
Fox viewers and Breitbart readers are absolutely losing their shit over Trump's scene being cut from Home Alone 2.
"Gooddamn stupid, godless Canadian commies are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome! Goddamn Trudeau! Defund the CBC!"

Here are the facts.  The scene was cut in 2014, along with many others not germane to the story, to fit the 2 hour time slot.
Trump was not POTUS then, and Trudeau was not Prime Minister.
However, delusional Trumpers are not letting the FACTS get in the way of a good misspelled rant.

Well it was not cut from the American television version to fit the time frame!
Just sayin!
Surprised they did not insert your PM into the footage replacing Trump!

Maybe other scenes in the USA were cut to fit the time frame. Maybe one country has fewer/more commercials. The movie was cut by 8 minutes.

In any case, it had nothing to do with us being disgusted with Trump, although we are.

It would outrage him to know I had no idea he had a cameo in the movie and I'm probably not the only one.

[justme]

I'm pretty sure I've seen some versions of it without trump on the US channels before he was in office. I had forgotten he was in it because I hadn't seen him in it for a while. I actually don't recall seeing him in it this season, but I've been sick so there's a chance I forgot seeing him.

It really has no point to the movie. Honestly everyone I do see him in it I wonder how much he paid for that cameo.

In these  tumultuous times, with Kim in NK threatening to fire more missiles, and the president having just been impeached, and all the drama of the Dem primaries coming up, it's encouraging to see the Trumpettes are spending their time and energy on the really important issues like making sure Trump's 2 minute cameos in 1980's comedies aren't cut.

It was more like a 2 second cameo.

To be fair, the only thing I have seen from him personally on the topic he indicted he was joking about it being an issue. It was his followers who made a big deal out of it, which is scary in itself.

[tractor]

His devoted followers probably thought it was a documentary. As you know, everything on TV is real.

[weltschmerz]

Donald Trump Jr. in an Instagram post called the move "absolutely pathetic. The liberal media like @cbc is where Trump Derangement Syndrome manifests itself fully." "Fox & Friends" also suggested the decision was "censorship" carried out in furtherance of "Trump derangement syndrome."

They might have asked Culkin what he wanted cut:

“The first one was more fun because we didn’t know what we were walking into and it was a lot less flying all over the place," Culkin explained before dropping some almighty presidential shade, "It was all in Chicago. It also had 100% less Donald Trump."

“In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Matt Damon told that Mr Trump had an agreement with film crews using his buildings.

A special clause guaranteed the businessman a speaking line in any film that used a building of his as a location.”

I’ll actually give Trump credit to put his brand out there by demanding a line in movies shot at his properties.

I really don't see how Canada can do this to him. 

After all he has done for them in the most recent trade treaty.  

I'm just beside myself with outrage. 

Something needs to be done on this.

I'm just so triggered, along with all my other conservative pals....

He is a marketing genius.   No question.

I can't tell you how funny we find this! Trudeau's been texting with Macron and Boris laughing about it for the last 2 weeks! 😁

Yes! I am shocked, I tell you shocked that the three conservatives here on the board did not all start threads on this issue the other day!
Only one Canadian bothered to post this outrage!

If Breitbart reported it it must be true. You need to follow Breitbart.

Maybe other scenes in the USA were cut to fit the time frame. Maybe one country has fewer/more commercials. The movie was cut by 8 minutes.

In any case, it had nothing to do with us being disgusted with Trump, although we are.

Hmmn, some of your Canadian compatriots who winter in Florida disagree with your feelings about the President.

Real easy to make stuff up. Tell those supposed trump-supporting Canadian citizens to join the board here and let them speak for themselves.

I have two brothers that live in Florida. 

They would attest to plenty of Canadian, Trump loving, snowbirds. 




Quote;  Florida has the largest number of snowbirds each winter – and not only from Canada but from the U.S. as well. Its proximity by car to Eastern Canada and the Northeastern and Central U.S. has made it a natural place to head to in the winter months. It has a mild, sub- tropical climate and long stretches of coastline, inland waterways and lakes.

For the most part Canadians in Florida are pretty quiet on American politics. They have plenty to say about their PM and their tax system in Canada.

Of course they do, dear. 

Seeing as how the majority of Canadians overwhelmingly disapprove of Trump, you must have met the pro-Trump busload, wearing MAGA hats and shouting "USA! USA!"
