According to Deadline, Columbus explained they approached Trump's Plaza Hotel for a scene in the lobby, as it couldn't be replicated on a soundstage. Trump agreed but insisted on being in the movie, leading to cheers during the first screening. Despite being a result of Trump's assertiveness, the director decided to keep the cameo in 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,' released in 1992, two years after the original.

A user commented, "If that was part of the deal to begin with, then that’s fine but all of a sudden throwing a catch in there after they already paid the fee is evil. Then again, it’s Trump we’re talking about…"
