Recently, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) was found by sharp-eyed netizens when broadcasting the Christmas movie "Little Devil 2: Lost in New York", and it turned out that in this version, the 7-second shot of US President Trump's cameo was cut. You must know that Trump himself has been relishing this cameo experience, and even bragged about his performance in the movie the day before (24th). For the decision to delete, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation gave a reason for the first time to call it advertising time and has nothing to do with politics, but Trump was very unbuyed, and successively pushed and angered Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau.
According to the British "Daily Mail" report, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation broadcast "Little Devil 2" on the evening of the 25th, in which the footage of Trump's cameo appearance was deleted.
The cut part is that the protagonist, the little boy, meets Trump after arriving at the Plaza Hotel in New York, and Trump shows the way for the little boy. The film was filmed at the Plaza Hotel, a New York landmark that Trump bought in 1988 for $407.5 million. Therefore, Trump's role in the movie is himself, that is, the owner of the Plaza Hotel.
It is worth noting that just the day before (24th), Trump just bragged about his performance in the movie. He said on a video phone call with U.S. troops stationed abroad, "Yes, I did appear in Devil May Cry 2, and many people bring up the film every year, especially around Christmas, and they, especially children, will say, 'I just saw you in the movie!'" They didn't react so much when they saw me on TV. ”
He also praised, "It's a good movie, and to put it nicely, I was relatively young at the time, and it was an honor to do that." ”
Regarding the deletion of Trump cameos, CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson explained that the version of the film was cut for a total of 8 minutes, a move that had no political motives and that the company simply needed time to broadcast commercials. "We were playing a Trump-free version of the 1992 Christmas movie, which was done in 2014, when we first got the clip, and Trump had not yet been elected President of the United States."
But Trump, for his part, is completely unconvinced by this claim, and he still blames Trudeau for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's actions.
Annoyed and angry, Trump satirized Trudeau on Twitter on the 26th: "I guess Justin (Trudeau) doesn't like me very much and let him pay for NATO or trade!" ”
A month ago, Trump angrily denounced Trudeau as a "two-faced man" because NATO leaders collectively "gossiped" about Trump, of which Trudeau's expression was the most exaggerated. At last year's G7 summit, Trump also publicly refused to sign the meeting communiqué because of Trudeau's remarks, and shelled Trudeau for being "fake and soft".
Of course, the CBC's deletion of Trump footage has not only annoyed the parties involved, but also caused great dissatisfaction among conservative and pro-Trump media, including the popular Fox News morning show "Fox and Friends," a show that Trump often watches.
Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., also expressed his displeasure in social media posts, calling the incident "pathetic."
Contrary to the bombardment of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for deleting Trump's footage for "political purposes," many netizens supported "removing" Trump, "they just deleted the unpleasant parts of the movie." "As an American, I want to remove Trump from the White House as simple as deleting footage."
