Petty grievances of the world's biggest baby

A Fox News panel reacted Thursday to viewers’ reports that Donald Trump’s cameo was cut from a Canadian broadcast of the 1992 holiday movie “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” calling the editing “censorship” and a symptom of “derangement.”

“I think they’re actually terrified that people will remember that before he was the new Hitler, he was a beloved mainstream cultural figure,” he said.

Was that a slip-up? Before he was the new Hitler.

“That’s who Donald Trump was before he was the new Hitler. I think they’re terrified of these little things that will remind people just how deranged his opponents are.”

Check yourself in the mirror when talking about deranged people.

Co-host Ed Henry also used that language, accusing the CBC of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” For her part, contributor Katie Pavlich chalked it up to “censorship.”

Earlier this week, Trump talked up his brief appearance in the movie. In fact, he said it’s his favorite holiday film and that it was “one of the biggest” Christmas hits.

“A lot of people mention it every year, especially around Christmas,” the president said during a call to troops overseas. “They say – especially young kids – they say, ‘I just saw you on the movie.’ They don’t see me on television as they do in the movie, but it’s been a good movie and I was a little bit younger, to put it mildly, and it was an honor to do it.”

He's talking to the troops about it???

The CBC edited out multiple scenes from "Home Alone 2" to shorten the two-hour movie for television -- eight minutes in all, the CBC says. The CBC's deletion of scenes entirely unrelated to Trump is confirmed by a search of viewers' complaint tweets. Trump was not cut as Canadian retribution for his policies in office: He has been omitted from the CBC version since at least 2015, the earliest we could find viewers tweeting about the deletion. CBC says it actually cut the Trump cameo in 2014, before Trump launched his presidential campaign in June 2015.

Since 2014, people have scolded CBC for failing to air such "Home Alone 2" scenes as "Kevin going swimming," "THE TURTLE DOVE EXCHANGE" and a scene in which a homeless man warns Macaulay Culkin's protagonist, Kevin McCallister, to "Watch it, kid."

The CBC said in a statement: "As is often the case with feature films adapted for television, 'Home Alone 2' was edited for time. The scene with Donald Trump was one of several that were cut from the movie as none of them were integral to the plot. These edits were done in 2014 when we first acquired the film and before Mr. Trump was elected President."

There is, obviously, no evidence that Trudeau or his party had any role in the decision to dump the Trump appearance.

Conservative Stephen Harper was Canada's prime minister in 2014.

The Trump cameo features Culkin's character walking in New York City's Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time, and happening upon the future president.

Culkin says, "Excuse me, where's the lobby?"

Trump responds, "Down the hall and to the left."

Culkin says "thanks," Trump turns toward the camera and they continue on their way.

And, by the way...

So, the Evangelicals didn't launch this on their own initiative.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
