President Donald Trump’s animatronic is back at center-stage at the Walt Disney World Resort’s Hall of Presidents and even has a new speaking role, according to WDW News Today. Located in Disney’s Magic Kingdom, the attraction boasts robotic iterations of every U.S. president and walks audiences through the country’s history. As is custom, the attraction closed on Jan. 20 to renovate its stage and move Trump’s animatronic to its helm. After a six-month closure, the Hall of Presidents reopened its doors again on Sunday to unveil a new role for Trump. Along with a more realistic look, Trump’s animatronic also now recites the oath of office through a recorded performance, per Disney World’s website. The president’s animatronic first sparked headlines during his first term in 2017. At the time, several park-goers claimed that Trump’s animatronic looked like it was initially modeled after Hillary Clinton, his then-presidential opponent. The resemblance led many to believe that Disney had initially built a Clinton animatronic, assuming that she would win, but had it remodeled at the last minute following Trump’s victory. Disney seemingly updated Trump’s animatronic a few years later in 2021 to give it a more realistic look, per Blog Mickey, further fueling the conspiracy theory.
