Trump tweeting edit to Home Alone 2 cut him out of the movie by Canadian

Last edited Fri Dec 27, 2019, 03:14 PM - Edit history (4)

Broadcast Corporation. CBC says the edits were done in 2014 to cut the movie down for commercial breaks and has nothing to do with his presidency. All networks take out about 20 minutes on average when they edit movies to fit tv schedules. CBC News. (CBC tv and radio to Canada is like the BBC in Britain and increasingly a target of right wingers who don't want voters to think critically which the canadian government promotes through funding a big portion of the network). Could not some other issue have made it to Trump today? Surely right wing media in the US is concerned about human right in China or something.

There's a specific episode of MASH (The Bomb) that cuts out a golden nugget of comedy from Henry's Story about taping the wrong leg of th star player at a football game.

I'm sure PM Trudeau will be glad to listen to The Donald's whining and advise the CBC accordingly.

I wonder if Justin says to Trump "say hi to Melania for me okay?" at the end of phone calls.

And editing movies for TV broadcasting is normal.

CBC spokesperson Chuck Thompson confirmed Thursday that Trump's scene and others were cut from the film five years ago to make way for commercials.

"As is often the case with feature films adapted for television, Home Alone 2 was edited for time," Thompson said. "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."

Thompson said a total of eight minutes was trimmed from the film. He said it was too early to decide whether CBC would air the movie again next holiday season, and whether or not Trump's scene would be added back in if it does.


Trump's such a friggin narcissistic whine-ass. He loves playing the victim to get more attention and it helps distract from his past and current traitorous BS and crimes.
