“For the public”
In 2020, Chris Colón had already revealed in the columns of Business intern That Donald Trump had “imposed” in the film. “You can use the square only if I appear in the movie,” said the businessman.

In 2023, in the social network of Truth, Donald Trump said that Columbus had “insisted” for cameo and that he had never “imposed”. “It’s completely false,” he said. “I didn’t have time and I didn’t want to do it.”
