As the House of Representatives prepared to impeach Republican President Donald Trump for a second time Wednesday, some Home Alone fans online started a half-joking petition to have the President edited out of Home Alone 2.
petition to digitally replace trump in ‘home alone 2’ with 40-year-old macaulay culkin— rae ⚔️ (@rae ⚔️)1610301428.0
A few accounts also suggested Trump's cameo should be digitally replaced with an older version of actor Macaulay Culkin, the star of the film.

The petition gained some unexpected traction when it picked up a key supporter—Culkin himself.

Culkin also applauded some amateur efforts to remove Trump from the infamous clip.
