Trump to have speaking role in Disney World's "Hall of Presidents"

Source: CBS News

Walt Disney World announced it will be adding President Trump to their roster of speaking U.S. leaders in their "Hall of Presidents" attraction in Orlando, Florida.

The show, featured in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom park, showcases past presidents in "audio animatronic" robot form, imparting famous words and well-known speeches to visiting audiences.

"The same thing that we've done with other presidents, is the same plan we have for President Trump," Jacquee Wahler, vice president of communications told local Orlando outlet News 13.

The popular attraction, opened in 1971, has added every U.S. president after an election cycle and will continue that tradition with Mr. Trump as they undergo a refurbishment set to re-open late 2017.

I can just see/hear all those late night comedians having a field day with this. Colbert's writers will have it easy today.

Nobody knows more about taxes."

The Disney corp though has a right wing ownership. They have sponsored all kinds of wingnut docu-dramas. So I wouldn't expect any more of them. But what if things go south, really south, for The Don? Even from a business standpoint, this seems a little premature to start planning.

lie nonstop. For maximum verisimilitude.

How stupid of DW is this? Are they under pressure to announce or do this right away??? Maybe they want to curry favor with the pukes because tax cuts.

140 character speech won't be much. Perhaps they'll put it in a loop for a never ending spew.
