Fourth of July visitors to Disney World in Florida will be among some of the first guests to get a glimpse of President Donald Trump’s updated animatronic appearance after engineers went back to work following his victory in November.
Back where he belongs after years, Trump’s animatronic has returned to Disney’s President’s Hall’s center stage, sporting a new look that seemed much more in line with the actual appearance of President Trump than the previous one used at the Magic Kingdom following his shocking victory in 2016 against then-Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Our sister site Townhall.com has shared a clip of what the Trump robot now looks like and sounds like, showing him in the famed Hall where he recites the oath of office and looks nothing like the version Disney first displayed in 2017.
The Hall of Presidents, which features audio-animatronics of every U.S. president since the Magic Kingdom opened its gates in 1971, had been closed since January to allow for the update of the animatronic of Trump, which, when first unveiled, appeared to have a much more feminine look. Some said it even looked like the candidate he had just beaten for the highest office in the land, Clinton herself.
RedState’s Brandon Morse reported at the time:
Disney unveiled the robot on Tuesday, where the animatronic stands on stage with all the other Presidents throughout American history. Trump even lent his voice to the robot, giving an oath and a speech.
The statue has his hair, his posture, and even his hand movements down…but his face looks very off like it was originally supposed to be feminine and was melted and morphed so that it looked more masculine.
And RedState wasn’t the only one who noticed something wasn’t right. As the Worldwide Leader in Disney news, WDW News Today reported recently:
When Trump finally arrived at The Hall of Presidents, many pointed out that the animatronic face did not appear overly accurate to real-life President Trump. In fact, many guests pointed out that the face bore a striking resemblance to Hillary Clinton, whom Trump ran against in 2016. The appearance of the animatronic, plus the extended downtime, led to new rumors that Disney had already prepped a figure, assuming Hillary would win the election, which then had to be refitted as Trump when he won.
The outlet pointed out:
Following the reopening of the lobby earlier this month, The Hall of Presidents in Magic Kingdom has returned with its most recent update. The attraction closed on January 20, 2025, to move President Trump back to the middle of the stage following his re-election. This would mark the first time a president returned to the center location, as Trump is the first president since the opening of The Hall of Presidents who has served two non-consecutive terms.
After Biden’s election, Trump was moved to the back row of the stage behind President John Quincy Adams, WDWNT reported.
And guess who’s since been moved to the back of the stage behind President John Quincy Adams? You guessed it, Biden.
