Disney World’s Hall of Presidents has always been somewhat bizarre and eerie. For those of you who don’t know, the Hall of Presidents is a darkened auditorium featuring animatronic robot-statues of all 44 former US presidents. There, you can watch each president deliver a brief speech taken from things they’ve said in real life.
The thing is, all the robots look slightly (or more than slightly) off from the president they are supposed to depict. They also have these jerky moving gestures, and when watching them, you can’t help but think of an inevitable post-apocalyptic, Terminator-like scenario where the robotic presidents gain consciousness and enslave humanity. But I digress…
Donald Trump's robot was recently added to the collection earlier this week, and Twitter had an absolute field day with the news and unveiling. They proceeded to read the robot (and Trump) to filth.
First off, the queen of Twitter and Donald Trump reads, Bette Midler, tweeted:
\u201c#Disney unveiled animatronic Trump at Hall of Presidents. They had to use an old pair of hands from one of the \u201cIt\u2019s a Small World\u201d kids.\u201d— bettemidler (@bettemidler) 1513699652
Then there were so many more:
\u201cTrump robot in the Hall of Presidents looks like a 71-year-old Chucky doll.\u201d— John Cohen (@John Cohen) 1513643644
\u201cHere me out on this. Clearly Disney had Hilary's robot ready to go and then they had to try and make it look like Trump. Don't hate me. This is just a necessary and painful fact we all need to deal with.\u201d— Shannon O'Neill (@Shannon O'Neill) 1513665383
\u201cI gotta say, the idea of Trump being in the Hall of Presidents exhibit made me surprisingly sad when it first occurred to me. But now that I see it\u2014 it is truly hilarious. Good work, President-robot builders.\u201d— Paul F. Tompkins (@Paul F. Tompkins) 1513666988
\u201cIf any of you have ever wondered if vegetables can have nightmares, it's safe to say after seeing the Trump robot from Disney's Hall of Presidents, we're about to find out.\u201d— Half An Onion (@Half An Onion) 1513646830
\u201cIs it just me or do all the other robot Disneyland Presidents look stunned and horrified by the Trump robot?\u201d— Paul Feig (@Paul Feig) 1513656901
