Christmas has passed, but Donald Trump is keeping his festive mood alive by beefing with the director of a movie he appeared in for seven seconds more than 30 years ago.

The former president blasted out a Truth Social missive on Wednesday attacking Chris Columbus, who directed the Christmas classics Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2 (1992).

Trump made a brief appearance in the sequel during a scene at New York Citys Plaza Hotel, which he owned at the time.

In an interview with Business Insider in 2020, Columbus said that Trump would only allow the film to be shot at the hotel if he could appear in it, and that the future president essentially bullied his way into the movie.

That tidbit was recirculated online this week, and evidently caught Trumps eye.

30 years ago (how time flies!), Director Chris Columbus, and others, were begging me to make a cameo appearance in Home Alone 2, Trump wrote on his social media site. They rented the Plaza Hotel in New York, which I owned at the time. I was very busy, and didnt want to do it. They were very nice, but above all, persistent. I agreed, and the rest is history!

That little cameo took off like a rocket, and the movie was a big success, and still is, especially around Christmas time, he went on. People call me whenever it is aired.

He claimed that Columbus version of events is false.

If they felt bullied, or didnt want me, why did they put me in, and keep me there, for over 30 years? Trump wrote. Because I was, and still am, great for the movie, thats why!
