It's the former more than likely

Oh jeez. Some people don’t like Trump and want it taken out, which has not happened.

This is not McCarthyism or Orwell, which involves a government policy. This hyperbole is unhelpful and simply meant to manufacture outrage.

You're right...this is the "cancel culture". Have to give a new name to an old idea.

Manufacture outrage ? Take a look around and see how many statues and paintings have been destroyed or taken away and that was after they finished going after flags.

Just so we're clear here...

The group that spent 4 years calling the opposition "snowflakes" is now outraged over a movie.

You can't make this stuff up.

Sorry, it is quite hard to hide emotions after 4 years of a bully as President saying horrible things year after year. What he said about Mexicans and in Charlottesville. Children don't understand all of this either.

It’s gotten so ridiculous now.

A 10 second cameo, that was part of the deal negotiated to use The Plaza (when Trump owned it) and now people offended by Trump over 25 years later want it removed?

This smacks of McCarthyism and Orwell.
Meh

Times change

It used to be ok to bully people on the Internet too

Calm down.

Nobody is taking pwecious twumpkins out of his movie.
I'm not so sure anymore. The far left is unhinged. I am sure there is entertainment you like that could very well be affected if they had their way. Social media is giving a platform to the smallest minorities. In fact, they are the loudest voices and so are getting attention. All they have to do is plant the seed and eventually those viruses grow. I could care less if Trump is removed from that movie. It was not as good as the first one. It is the larger concept of censorship that I don't like.

Actually the other way around my friend. Biden has been comparing those on the right to Goebbel.
I suspect we'll be hearing 4 years of "Godwin's law" coming from this administration.

What exactly did he say about Mexicans? You mean how he wanted to work with Mexican brands like Goya to bring more prosperity?

If you are talking about the boarder, he was right. While the majority are not hard criminals, we should be working overtime not to allow criminals into our country. The leftist media has denied how much crime happens around the boarder between trafficking, kids being kidnapped, drugs etc. That is all Trump was saying...we should not allow rapists into our country. That means securing our boarder. No more and no less. Besides everyone who tries to cross our boarder ILLEGALLY is now a criminal on some level. I love my mexican neighbors, but like everyone else they need to follow our laws.
