'Home Alone 2' director calls Donald Trump's cameo a 'curse': 'I just wish it was gone'
Like Kevin McCallister with the Wet Bandits, 'Home Alone' director Chris Columbus just can't escape that Donald Trump cameo in the sequel: 'It's become this curse. It's become this thing that I wish it was not there.'
Columbus previously revealed that Trump, who at the time of filming owned the Plaza Hotel, only agreed to let production film on the property if he could be featured in the movie in some capacity.

30 years ago (how time flies!), Director Chris Columbus, and others, were begging me to make a cameo appearance in Home Alone 2. 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 Christmas time. People call me whenever it is aired. Now, however, 30 years later, Columbus (what was his real name?) put out a statement that I bullied myself into the movie. Nothing could be further from the truth. 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!

A deadly E. coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to make the details public
The outbreak linked to romaine lettuce killed one person and sickened at least 88 more, including a 9-year-old boy who nearly died of kidney failure.
"But much of the staff responsible for developing and distributing information to the public about foodborne illnesses was terminated this month as part of the Trump administration’s sweeping effort to shrink the federal government.
“We no longer have all the mechanisms in place to learn from those situations and prevent the next outbreak from happening,” said Taryn Webb, who led the FDA’s public engagement division for human foods until she was laid off during the mass firing this month.
And the administration has separately moved to delay a new federal rule requiring food companies and grocery stores to rapidly track down contaminated food and pull it off the shelves, though the FDA said the delay was meant to give time to ensure better compliance."
