In a post on his social media site Truth Social, Donald claims that Chris and others involved with the movie were “begging” him for the cameo spot.
“They rented the Plaza Hotel in New York, which I owned at the time. I was very busy, and didn’t want to do it. They were very nice, but above all, persistent,” he alleged. “I agreed, and the rest is history! That little cameo took off like a rocket, and the movie was a big success, and still is, especially around Christmas time. People call me whenever it is aired.”
He continued, writing, “That cameo helped make the movie a success, but if they felt bullied, or didn’t want me, why did they put me in, and keep me there, for over 30 years? Because I was, and still am, great for the movie, that’s why!”
Donald dubbed Chris “just another Hollywood guy from the past looking for a quick fix of Trump publicity for himself.”
