Disney has revealed their new addition to the Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World, and the reaction isn’t what the company might have expected. The new animatronic to join the league of American presidents was, of course, a robot of President Donald Trump (above).
It’s just that the resemblance to Trump is far from uncanny. Strangely, the figure looks more like Hillary Clinton. And therein hangs a tale – perhaps.
The animatronic version of Trump does sport the signature hair, the ill-fitting suit, and the classic low-hanging tie, and closely imitates his hand gestures. The robot even delivered an inspiring speech, perhaps more convincing than any of Trump’s actual speeches so far.
However, the similarities with Clinton have sparked the theory that Disney had originally made a robot for Hillary Clinton, expecting her to win the elections, and simply modified it for Trump.
Meanwhile, someone took the trouble of dubbing some of Trump’s actual speeches on the video featuring the robot.
