Trump Replaced by his Disney Animatronic in Viral Photos
‘Honestly, It’s An Improvement’
When Disney unveiled its Donald Trump for their “Hall of Presidents†attraction earlier this month, the Internet fell in love.
As with every aspect of the Donald Trump presidency, controversy swirled around the attraction’s inclusion of the 45th president almost immediately after his election. “The Hall of Presidents,†described by Walt Disney World as the now-45 men “who have served as U.S. President in an Audio-Animatronics show tracing the history of the United States,†unveiled its Trump in December 2017.
Newsweek called it “nightmarish,†protesters chanted “lock him up!†during its opening, and Twitter picked it apart. A few examples:

The new Disney president robot looks like they started out making a Hillary robot, but were surprised when Trump won, and not wanting to waste their work, they stuck an orange comb-over, some bushy eyebrows, and a men’s suit on it. pic.twitter.com/6aJ1DOaP1w

Speaking with Mashable, the Twitter user advised “I’ve done several Trump Photoshops and when I saw that animatronic figure, I just thought it would make more sense to put it in place of him — just about as much of a human being as he is.â€
Twitter seemed to approve:
your pshop skills are reaching levels of unpresidented excellence
