Animatronic Donald Trump Statue At Disney’s Hall Of Presidents Gets Ruthlessly Mocked

Disney inducted an animatronic version of President Donald Trump in its Hall of Presidents exhibit at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and Twitter, as usual, had opinions about the president’s life-sized look-alike — most of them unflattering, to say the least.

The audio-animatronic robot was unveiledMonday in Orlando's Magic Kingdom park.

According to the New York Times, animatronic Trump was given a place at the center of the stage — next to former president Abraham Lincoln — with his signature hair, his suit jacket unbuttoned and a tie loose at the knot.

Despite Disney using the latest technology to make animatronic-Trump seem as real as possible, Twitter users were unconvinced of the similarity and came up with their own list of names that it resembled more.

Robotic Trump, like all the animatronic presidents since Bill Clinton, is capable of speaking, and for which the president exclusively recorded a speech. However, before its contents was known, Twitterati had a field day guessing what the president’s animatronic was likely to talk about.

Later, a video of robotic Trump giving his speech was released, and it included remarks he delivered during the presidential oath of office:

I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.

From the beginning, America has been a nation defined by its people. At our founding, it was the American people who rose up to defend our freedoms and win our independence. It is why our founders began our great Constitution with three very simple words: ‘We the People.’ Since that moment, each generation of Americans has taken its place in the defense of our freedom, our flag and our nation under God.

These are the achievements of the American spirit. The spirit of a people who fought and died to bring the blessings of liberty to all our people. Above all to be American is to be an optimist, to believe that we can always do better and that the best days of our great nation are still ahead of us.

It’s a privilege to serve as the president of the United States, to stand here among so many great leaders of our past and to work on behalf of the American people.

The Hall of Presidents had closed in January, shortly before Trump’s inauguration as president and was scheduled to reopen in June. However, the date was postponed, giving way to rumors that a speaking role would not be given to Trump’s animatronic, Business Insider reported.

Disney denied the rumor in a June blog entry and said: “We have been working closely with the current White House - just as we have with previous administrations - and the president's recording session has been scheduled.”

The show became a Disney attraction after the animated figure of former president Abraham Lincoln was developed for the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair.
