Robotic Donald Trump Unveiled at Disney World’s Hall of Presidents

Posted on
December 22, 2017
by Becky Cruze
It’s been over a year now since Donald J. Trump was elected president and nearly a year since he took the Oath of Office.

During that time, DJT has had a number of memorable “only when you’re the president” experiences. And now he can add one more to the list: having his likeness added to the Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando, FL.

‘To Be American Is to Be an Optimist’

As reported by CNN Politics, “Trump's robot is introduced by a George Washington robot, and he has a speaking role. The President recorded his remarks for The Hall of Presidents, just as every sitting president has done for the attraction since the early 1990s…”

As part of the exhibit, the animatronic Trump says, “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.”

“Above all, to be American is to be an optimist,” continues the robotic president. “To believe that we can always do better and that the best days of our great nation are still ahead of us.”

How Does the Robot Compare to the Man?

According to NPR, “[T]here was great enthusiasm among [Trump’s] base for the animatronic impression of the president.”

Apparently, some #MAGA supporters had worried that the “liberals” who run Disney “would never respect the president enough to add him to the exhibit, as it had for every president before him.”

But what is ruffling some feathers among Trump voters (and provoking some chuckles from the president’s critics) is the robot’s face.

NPR stated that “likeness was lacking,” while Newsweek’s article about the Trump animatron went a step further with the headline: “Disney Debuts Nightmarish Donald Trump Hall of Presidents Robot, to Twitter’s Glee.”

And, boy, was Twitter gleeful.

Jon Voight, Chucky and Hillary Clinton…Oh My!

Twitter users have compared the Trump robot to everyone from actor Jon Voight to the doll from the Chucky movies. Some have even claimed a resemblance to Trump’s Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

As Newsweek put it, “Many tried to launch a tongue-in-cheek conspiracy theory, saying Disney's animatronics team had already completed a Hillary Clinton robot before the election, and had simply adjusted several parts of its face after Trump's shocking 2016 win.”

‘Long History of Unsatisfying, Unsettling or Inadequate Figurines’

So, is the “lack of likeness” an intentional slight against Trump by the “liberals” at Disney?

Despite Trump supporters’ worst fears (and his opponents’ highest hopes), it seems highly unlikely.

According to NPR, “The Hall of Presidents has a long history of unsatisfying, unsettling or inadequate figurines… Even Barack Obama's figure in the Hall of Presidents, which debuted in 2009, is far from a picture-perfect portrait.”
