Would it have been better in front of the cameras than in the oval office? In any case, the appearance of Donald Trump in the film Mom, I still missed the plane (1992) has become “a ball” for its director Chris Columbus, who has entrusted to San Francisco Chronicle that he would like to be able to erase this cameo seven seconds.
A “curse”
“Years later, it became a real curse. I would like it so much that it no longer exists, “he said, explaining that the current President of the United States appeared in the film only because production wanted, at the time, to shoot in the Plaza Hotel in New York (which Trump had bought in 1988).
“He said that I begged him to play in the film,” protested Chris Columbus. But I would never beg someone who is not an actor to play in a film! ». Upset by this embarrassing “guest”, the director assures that “it has become a ball for me, I would just like him to disappear”.
The fear of being expelled
Except that it seems impossible to cut the scene in which “plays” Donald Trump because although born in the United States, the filmmaker has Italian origins and fears an expulsion: “It will be said that I do not deserve to live in the United States,” he fears. I will have to go back to Italy or something like it… ”.

He then goes to the Plaza Hotel and simply asks his way to the owner of the premises … embodied by himself.
