Kevin walked around the New York Plaza Hotel, a little dizzy. At this time, a tall gentleman in a suit and leather shoes walked by, and Kevin quickly asked, "Where is the hotel lobby?" ”
The gentleman stopped and turned his head — hey, isn't this US President Trump?! (Of course, this is the reaction that audiences will only have after 2016))
Trump turned his head, pointed in the direction of the camera and told Kevin, "Go straight down the hallway and turn left." Kevin said, "Thank you." Trump continued to move forward and then disappeared into the camera.
This is a scene from the American comedy film "Devil May Cry 2: Lost in New York" released in 1992, and the only scene in which Trump appears, and the shot lasts about 7 seconds.
However, Trump supporters found that this second-long footage was actually cut by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) !
Trump supporters angrily say that Trudeau, the "racist" who always plays blackface, CBC still broadcasts; and Trump? Cut his footage because he's not a racist? Shame on you!
Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., accused the CBC of being "so pathetic"!
Trump's only favorite media outlet, Fox News, said CBC was "censored" and was anti-Trump "deranged."
Trump himself retweeted two tweets, saying, "I guess Justin Trudeau doesn't like me very much and asks him to increase costs in NATO or trade!" ”
The second one said, "This movie is no longer the same as before!" (Just kidding)"

Are you kidding me?
However, it is worth noting that Trump just said that he was "honored" to have participated in the movie "Little Devil 2".
According to CNN, just this year's Christmas Eve line overseas soldiers, Trump was also asked about the movie. Trump responded at the time, "Yes, I appeared in Little Devil May Cry 2."
"A lot of people mention this every year, especially around Christmas. They, especially the younger kids, said to me, 'I just saw you in the movie.' They see me less on TV than in movies. It's a good movie, of course I was younger... I'm honored to be a part of it."
"In the end it became a blockbuster movie, the biggest Christmas blockbuster movie. So it's an honor to be involved in this film – people always like to see success."

The front foot just said that it was "honored" to participate in this movie, and the foot foot's own shot was cut, and Trump probably got a little bad.
However, the CBC has its own saying.
According to the BBC, CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson said the 120-minute film was cut for 8 minutes to insert commercials. That is, it is not just the lens of Trump that has been cut.
Moreover, Thompson said the film clip was completed as early as 2014, years before Trump was elected president of the United States — so there was absolutely no political motive for cutting out his footage.
Why do so many people say that cutting a film footage is for political purposes?
This is actually related to the delicate relationship between Trump and Trudeau, the two "Mr. Special".
Earlier this month, Trump and Trudeau traveled to London, England, to attend the 70th anniversary of NATO's founding. However, a video leaked by the CBC at the time showed Trudeau privately "gossiping" about Trump with Macron, Johnson and others - Trump was so angry that he called Trudeau a "two-faced man" and left the scene early again.
At the G7 summit in Canada last year, Trump also shelled Trudeau for his remarks as "fake and soft", and left the scene early and refused to sign the G7 joint communiqué.

In fact, as the "little brother" of the United States, Canada's relationship with the United States has become delicate in recent years. Trudeau and Trump have repeatedly clashed head-on over trade issues, NATO issues, and G7 issues.
However, CNN noted that while the president said he accused Trudeau of cutting his footage as a joke, the truth is that Trudeau could not have interfered with CBC's editing of the film.
CBC is a State-owned media enterprise in Canada, but the specific business issues of what to broadcast and how to broadcast are independent of the government. CNN said there was no evidence that Trudeau and his party had intervened in the matter.
However, although the CBC edited version of "Little Devil 2" does not have a shot of Trump, he has many other "works".
Footage from Sex and the City.
In fact, before becoming president, Trump also mixed in the entertainment industry and was considered a "half" actor. According to statistics, Trump has starred in a total of 13 movies, 20 TV series and a number of MVs and advertisements, including "Wall Street Tycoon", "Desire and the City" and many other well-known film and television dramas.
Most of the time, Trump plays himself, New York real estate mogul Donald Trump. So, want to see what Trump looks like in the movie and TV drama? There is still a chance.
