Trump Wanted His Disney Animatronic To Brag About His Skyscrapers

President Donald Trump reportedly wanted to tweak the script of his animatronic likeness at Walt Disney World’s Hall of Presidents attraction to make a quick boast.

The iconic attraction has for decades added new animatronics for each president as they’re elected, complete with audio. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all recorded dialogue for the attraction. In Trump’s case, however, he wanted to personalize the speech with a boast about his pre-presidential business activities.

Trump wanted to add a line about how Americans invented the skyscraper, and say ‘Which, of course, I know a thing or two about,’.

Disney objected, noting that a skyscraper wasn’t really an “invention” but “just a taller building,”.

He is anyway, but the likeness is incredible for all the other presidents. He looks so goofy. For those who have been, it was always very patriotic serious show. I haven't been in a while, I can just imagine his presence throws the whole thing off.
I always enjoy the Hall of Presidents, I hate the thought of his goofy ass up there.

that walks out on to the stage and hauls off the Trump animatronic as part of the show.
