Disney World Just Debuted Trump's Animatronic Likeness After Major Makeover—And It's Nightmare Fuel

Walt Disney World's Hall of Presidents attraction at the Magic Kingdom reopened over the weekend to feature a revamped version of President Trump's animatronic likeness.

The Hall of Presidents is an attraction in the Magic Kingdom park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Originally conceived by Walt Disney himself, the attraction is a multimedia presentation featuring audio-animatronic figures—meaning they speak and move—of all 45 individuals who have served as President of the United States.

The 25 minute show includes short film presentations, music, and has included inspirational voiceovers by Maya Angelou, Morgan Freeman, and the current narrator, Joy Vandervort-Cobb.


But the draw for most people are the animatronic depictions of all 45 men to serve as president. Most of the robotic figures simply move, while George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and the sitting president speak.

Beginning with Bill Clinton in 1993, the actual voice of the President was used to recite a short speech. Beginning with Barack Obama, the president recites the oath of office.

During Trump's first presidency, Disney decided to eliminate the speeches and stick to just the oath for future updates.

For Trump's second appearance as the speaking president, Disney also decided to use the 2017 oath recording instead of going to Trump to record it again.

Trump's animatronic doppelganger got a bit of a makeover since it was moved to the back in 2021 when Joe Biden took the center spot with Washington and Lincoln.

Here's Trump's original 2017 look.

His original version was the subject of a conspiracy theory due to its appearance.

People speculated that Disney had created a Hillary Clinton animatronic and had to pivot when Trump lost the popular vote in 2016, but won the electoral vote. Disney has never officially confirmed nor denied the story.

For Trump 2.0, the hair and face are definitely different.

While a strong case can be made that all animatronic characters are creepy, people are finding Trump 2.0 particularly so.

I’ve got an idea. Disney should add Vladimir Putin to the Hall of Presidents attraction, and just have him up in the rafters above the Trump animation with a marionette control bar. I’d fly to Orlando just for that.

While the clothes look similar to the 2017 garb, the length of the tie appears to have been shortened and the suit better tailored.

Disney issued no official statement on whether they reused the old animatronic body and simply changed the facial features or created a completely new head to toe animatronic for Trump 2.0.

Alyssa Milano Shares Poignant Tribute To 'TV Husband' Julian McMahon After His Death At 56

Actor Julian McMahon lost his battle with cancer at the age of 56 earlier this week, and to say that the Charmed, Nip/Tuck, and Fantastic Four actor touched many lives would be an understatement.

When the news of McMahon's passing went public, his Charmed costar and "TV wife" Alyssa Milano came forward and expressed her sadness and condolences on Instagram. The pair were a favorite couple on Charmed, and it was clear from her post that their care for each other extended beyond the screen.

Hope Walz, the daughter of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, responded brilliantly after Fox News personality Laura Ingraham attacked her for praising the mayoral primary victory of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City on TikTok, saying Ingraham spends her time "not caring about other people.”

Mamdani handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week, sparking racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who've claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.
