People Are Calling For Donald Trump To Be Removed And Replaced In Home Alone 2

As corporations abandon U.S. President Donald Trump following a riot at the U.S. Capitol last week, pop culture fans have decided to have a little fun with the President’s sudden disappearance from some aspects of public life. Companies like Twitter, Facebook, the PGA, and Deutsche Bank have limited or terminated their relationships with Trump, amid allegations that the outgoing President instigated the Capitol riot last week when he told a group of his supporters who were protesting in DC to head to the Capitol building and to “show strength” and “fight harder” against “bad people” just before things got violent last week.

Fans on Twitter, without new Trump material to debate, have taken to joking about which company might desert him next — and a popular joke (we assume a joke, anyway) has become, “let’s remove him from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.” The President had a cameo in the 1992 film, which shot part of its story at a Trump-owned hotel in New York.

Trump, who has curated his image and brand for decades, would require that film productions shooting on his property had to offer him a cameo appearance. Sometimes he would decline, sometimes the cameo would end up on the cutting room floor, but in the case of the Home Alone sequel, Trump was likely left in because he loomed so large in New York City’s culture at the time.

So the discussions of removing him, of course, gave birth to the question of who would replace him in the cameo role.

Here are some of the funniest and most inspired answers.
