The 1992 Christmas classic featuring a brief Trump appearance will air unedited on German television this December.

  • Donald Trump’s brief cameo in 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York' has drawn renewed scrutiny due to his political career and controversial public image.
  • German broadcaster Sat.1 will air the film in full, including Trump’s scene, during its traditional Christmas programming on December 25.
  • The cameo, filmed at the Plaza Hotel owned by Trump at the time, reportedly occurred after Trump insisted on being included as a condition for allowing filming at the location.
  • Critics in the U.S. have called for the removal of Trump’s scene, citing his divisive legacy, while others argue such edits would amount to censorship of artistic works.
