Glad this show has returned and the quick turnaround to get it ready. Just watched a video and the Trump AA looks a million times better than the 2017-2021 face. Biden is now next to Andrew Jackson, where Trump was 2021-2025. They set the precedent with Biden not giving a speech, so even though they could’ve easily reused Trump’s 1st term speech, I’m not surprised he’s just reciting the Oath of Office. As I’ve said many times before in various HoP threads, I’d be onboard to have a new/additional speech for Washington or Lincoln than a speech for whoever the current president is. And I know this will never happen, but I’d love to see an additional, former president have a speaking role. Maybe someone *slightly* more recent like FDR or JFK? Anyway, I’m glad it’s back.

Very surprised they didn't put Obama next to Biden. Otherwise the show I saw was pretty respectful. Only a noise when Benjamin Harrison was mentioned, and the audience applauded at the end.

No idea if they changed the gestures from the 1st time Trump spoke, but they were very accurate. And he looked WAY better than previously, almost like him this time.

The arrangement of the presidents has always been interesting to me. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it.

None of these figures are their latest AA tech, right?
No. The most “complex” movement is Lincoln and Washington standing up out of a chair, and it’s at a distance from the audience. No need to waste the latest AA tech on that.

Sorry, that was me! Gotta hoot n’ holler for my 2 Harrison cousins. I’ll do better next time! 🤣
