I wouldn’t mind if it went down for refurbishment and just never came back tbh.

Was this ever confirmed by anyone in the know? It sure seems like it's true.
So it closes on inauguration day¿?

Assuming they have to make a new animatronic for him, considering they probably scrapped the other, I really wonder if they plan on recording a new speech? Probably not, but frankly I would prefer if they did. The old one was fine, but it just wasn't as put together as some of the others. Felt a little AI generated.
You might get your wish. Pull a 20K scenario.

Oh boy I wonder if Disney knew what a firestorm of speculation that simple sign is going to kickoff.Disney World's Hall of Presidents Closes for Refurbishment as Trump Begins New Term, Closure Sign Raises Questions

Only speculation of course but he isn’t really a new president. He’s already in there, he’d just be changing positions. Maybe that’s what they’re getting at.
Is this where we find out The Muppets are actually coming?

I doubt it will take long to do this. Usually it takes months with a new President. But they have Trump already and basically all they have to do is switch him and Biden and maybe record a new message. It shouldn't take long, maybe a month or two if I were to guess? What should be done and will be done is different though. This is probably my favorite show in the whole park, I have always loved it. And much to my surprise so did all of our young kids the first time they saw it.

We’ll probably know what’s actually happening by March.

Two guesses
1. They couldn’t figure out the wording to make it “accurate” for the situation. (In their discussions)
2. They already had that sign designed or even printed and someone just put it out.

Uh, don’t the two give completely different performances? It’s not just moving them. Animatronics don’t work that way, unless they’re changing what they do.

The figure they used for his non-presidential role is entirely new and looks excellent. The sculpt will presumably transfer to the new Presidential speaking role.

I don’t see a reason why they wouldn’t just re-use everything they have of Trump from last time. It’d take a few months to reprogram and restructure the show back and everything, sure. But I would be shocked if there was any noticeable difference in this version of the show from the one we had from 2017-2021. I’m not even convinced they’ll use a different AA.
