And so, of course, some very dumb conspiracy theories have emerged. And yes, Fox News has weighed in.
Trumpanazees, a cease fire has been called in The War Against Christmas. All hands on deck now for the War against the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Before his political ascendency, the America's future president had a long acting career that included roles such as Donald Trump in Zoolander, Donald Trump in Two Weeks Notice, Waldo's Dad in The Little Rascals, and Donald Trump on Spin City.
But Trump fans who tuned into the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on Christmas Eve were deprived of his truly chameleonic seven-second performance as himself in Home Alone 2. Because of that, of course, some think a very stupid conspiracy is afoot.
For the Love of God, Get the Net
Despite the fact that movies are regularly trimmed to make room for commercials before they’re run on television, Trump's excision from the Canadian TV cut of the best Home Alone film was greeted with scorn from Fox & Friends.
“How bad is the Trump derangement syndrome for you to cut that out of a happy movie?” asked Ed Henry on Thursday, even while acknowledging that the film had been edited for TV. “It’s also censorship,” Ainsley Earhardt added.

The president himself commented on the very dumb controversy in a series of Tweets. "I guess Justin T doesn’t much like my making him pay up on NATO or Trade!” he wrote, referring to his famously tense relationship with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a person who doesn't have anything to do with the CBC's edits of decades-old children's films.

Of course, there was no grand Canadian anti-Trump conspiracy behind the film’s edit. On Thursday, a spokesperson for the CBC confirmed that Trump’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo and other scenes were cut from the movie to make way for commercials—and that this TV edition was edited way back in 2014, back before Trump had even begun his presidential run.
