Disney World unveiled an audio-animatronic robot in his life-size likeness.
The robot Trump will stand next to other American presidents, including Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, and George Washington, who introduces Trump, as part of the Mouse House’s Hall of Presidents attraction.
The Hall of Presidents, in the Liberty Square area of the Magic Kingdom, was closed on Jan. 17 to prepare for the new president.
And was originally slated to reopen in late June, but Disney announced that it would be available to the public in "late 2017."

The figure has Trump’s signature “hair” and wears its suit jacket unbuttoned with a tie dangling far below the belt buckle.
According to the Times, and along with the updated presidents,
Disney Imagineering used Mr. Trump’s exact measurements, the exhibit also includes a new sound system, lighting, and high-definition projection system.
The company’s research and design division go to extraordinary lengths and expense to build animatronic figures of the presidents that look as lifelike as possible. As it did with Mr. Obama, Disney asked the White House to provide Mr. Trump’s exact measurements.
