The classic holiday comedy "Home Alone" was so successful that it spawned a series of sequels. But only the second movie, 1992's "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," has a cameo by Donald Trump.
Before he became the 45th president of the United States, Trump found fame as a New York City businessman — which led to him crossing paths with the "Home Alone" franchise back in the early 1990s.
