Ouch! ‘Home Alone’ star wants Trump removed from sequel
‘Home Alone’ star Macaulay Culkin

Ouch! ‘Home Alone’ star wants Trump removed from sequel

It seems the White House isn’t the only

place people want to have President Donald Trump removed from.

An online petition to remove Trump from

the iconic Home Alone 2 film isnearing its target, with support coming from the movie’s lead, Macaulay Culkin.

Culkin replied to a tweet that asked for

Trump to be digitally removed from the movie and replaced with an older version

of Culkin, to which the star tweeted, “Sold.”

He also replied “Bravo” to another tweet

that edited out Trump and replaced him with a blank space.

The petition, which had just over 1,100 of the 1,500 required signatures at the time of posting, said the film is “tarnished” and has a “racist stain on it in the shape of Donald J Trump.”

It continued, “Nothing ruins holiday cheer

like a sexist, xenophobic, race-baiting bigot. For the sake of future

generations, Trump must be replaced.”

The director, Chris Columbus, previously

confirmed that Trump ‘bullied’ his way into the film by requesting that he make

an appearance for allowing them to shoot in the Plaza hotel, which he owned at

the time.
