Entertainment Catherine O'Hara donald trump
Of all the tributes to the late, great Catherine O’Hara, this savage ‘Home Alone 2’ tweet probably speaks for most of the world right now
Everyone from Hollywood luminaries to ordinary movie and TV fans like us have been mourning the death – and celebrating the amazing career – of comedy legend, Catherine O’Hara.
Canadian-born O’Hara died on Friday, aged 71.
Heartbroken doesn’t even begin to cover it.

But one tweet from user Charlottle Clymer in particular seemed to capture the mood of this particular moment, in a loooooong month that started with more insane Donald Trump shenanigans and ended with O’Hara’s death.
God took the wrong person from "Home Alone 2." It's really that simple.

And others agree with the sentiment.

There’s an individual in Home Alone 2 who deserved to bite it and it wasn’t Catherine O'Hara.

Yes, you may recall that Donald Trump has a cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which came out in 1992. At the time, Trump owned the Plaza hotel where Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) stays. You’ll be shocked to hear that Trump apparently bullied his way into the walk-on part.
Charlotte’s tweet has gone viral.

Of course, even though Trump is clearly the intended target of the tweets, that didn’t stop the jokers from pretending they were referring to other characters/actors from the beloved movie.
