I think the poster is using deductive reasoning. Cars Land and Villains Land will remove ROA and Liberty Belle. Rumors are floating about as to what will happen with HOP. That leaves HM and its not going anywhere.

FIFY. Seems that way, anyway.
While the Liberty Belle is docked in Liberty Square (anachronistically), it is not essential to Liberty Square. Nor is the RoA. Neither are Colonial attractions.
The Muppet rumor is to make a different type of HoP or Colonial or US Historical attraction. Not something incongruous with Liberty Square.
The replacement for RoA is themed after a US National Park, having an 'Americana' theme similar to RoA.
Villains Land will be far form Liberty Square.

I may just be reading it wrong but I am not sure I follow what you are saying on this part.
I think a lot of people would be okay with this but I doubt Disney wants to keep dealing with the headache in an increasingly less tolerant culture. I honestly hope it breaks that trend soon but I don't think it's worth it to them to wait around and find out.
That is why I think they do a quick update as they already have the Trump AA and the audio of him reading the oath from before his speech in the 2017 version so they don't need anything else. Slap him back up front, play just the oath and done.
At that point they just let it run for a bit longer so any claims of partisanship are less effective until finally closing it down in 2026/2027 to replace with whatever they come up with for that space.

Liberty Belle. Liberty Square. There's a reason it's launched from Liberty Square and obviously needs ROA to go around TSI.

The replacement is not based on US National Parks per-se but a world of auto part shaped features... It is a Carsland National Park in a world made up of anthropomorphic cars.... Which to me will not feel like Americana any more than TOy Story Land is a celebration of American Suburbia... And an off road Rally Race will not be even remotely similar in it's "Americana" theme... It will be a Carsland theme...set within that world... A jarring departure from what was...

I just hope at the end of the day, everyone stays safe and healthy. We might not all agree on things here, theme parks or not, but we’re all Disney/theme park fans and we should all support each other. We’re all humans flying on the same Spaceship Earth, after all. It’s a small world. Some other Disney joke. You get the idea, we have to be there for each other through anything and everything.
Agree even though at times some say a vacation at WDW is for the wealthy , all said and done health is wealth.

I didn't want to get political, but I feel this needs to be addressed: Disney's removal of Americana from their theme parks is the exact kind of behavior from corporations that has increasingly pushed voters towards conservative candidates. Believe it or not, most Americans like America and think cancel culture is stupid. While I understand your argument is that Disney would make this change for business reasons, to many Americans it's going to sound like "woke Disney" is making another attack on American values.

The simple answer to all of this is to just replace the Hall of Presidents with the House of Pancakes. No acronym change needed …but Disney would likely charge $45 a stack.

I would hate to lose this patriotic 25 minute attraction over a controversial 1 minute speech, all this focus on the current Presidents short speech is missing the forest for the trees, 99% of this attraction is the story of America, including the bad parts of our history, I lean right but if removing the Presidents speech saves this iconic attraction I’m all for it, if they do it I just hope Disney realizes they can never (ever) bring it back unless they want backlash like they’ve never seen before. I think the people who want the speech removed also need to recognize that, once it’s gone it has to stay gone, that means you are also silencing our first (female, gay, latino, etc) President also.
I’m all for adding the new President every 4/8 years and simply having them wave/nod like everyone else, and limiting the speaking parts to Washington, Lincoln, etc.

If this were true he would not have won the popular vote. The people support Donald Trump.
Cheaper than the upcoming NYE dinner/ fireworks viewing with Tiana at California Grill at $799 per person.

Disneyland used to have a pancake house but, uh, I don’t think that would fly today
