Full speech (after oath):
"From the beginning, America has been a nation defined by its people. At our founding, it was the American people who rose up to defend our freedoms and win our independence. It is why our founders began our great constitution with three very simple words: we the people. Since that moment, each generation of Americans has taken its place in the defense of our freedom, our flag, and our nation under God. These are the achievements of the American spirit, the spirit of a people who fought and died to bring the blessings of liberty to all our people. Above all, to be American is to be an optimist, to believe that we can always do better, and that the best days of our great nation are still ahead of us. It's a priveledge to serve as the president of the United States, to stand here among so many great leaders of our past, and to work on behalf of the American people."

Something's off about that audio animatronic. Could be the hair. Could be the tie not being red. Could be the movements. But something's off.

To me, the face looks more like Robert Vaughn than Trump, the head looks a bit too square, and the hands aren't articulating into the circle-fingers gesture I expected.

But overall, I think it's a good integration into the overall show.

Hooray! Happy to welcome our newest president.

Madame Tassaud’s are masters of face sculpting. Yes, they use a different medium and do not have to deal with animatronics but I wish the faces of the last few presidents, including the current could be more on-point. Trump and Obama look off.

The resemblance is uncanny! (valley)

The left one looks like the lovechild of Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump.

Yes! That's it exactly. Jimmy Carter is in there. You nailed it!

I don't care about the Trump AA, I'm more bothered by the fact they replaced Royal Dano as Lincoln's voice. That is a travesty!

Oh man, I was wondering it was just me. I swore his voice changed but it's been over a year so I couldn't remember exactly how he sounded.

I watched the video of the whole show. This is really great. I can't wait to watch it next week!

Honestly, and I mean no disrespect toward the president (regardless of who I vote for, I always respect the office of the president), but I kind of think the AA looks like Caitlyn Jenner more than anyone. I didn’t know anything could replace Ellen-bot in the annals of horrific AAs, but here we are!

 

[Hakunamatata]

Yes! That's it exactly. Jimmy Carter is in there. You nailed it!

When i saw the pic my first thought was someone is confusing Carter for Trump.

So, I was looking through the photos that Disney released for the Hall of Presidents and I think that it a very last minute deal. The Photos that Disney released for Barack Obama were done 2-3 weeks before the attraction opened. the preview one was done early may. Given with the delay, I feel that they did have a very strict time crunch. If we follow the timeine from 2008, it took from recording to first preview, 4 months and 21 days. If we follow that with Trump, it would put us at late July - in new york state. The reason why I think this was rushed, was the fact that the audio isn't that well synchronized to his mouth and the fact that the last photo taken that was released by disney was December 12th, at 4:58pm - which is the imagineer doing timing of President Trump.

Something in me makes me feel that this is rushed also, anyone who has been there, can you tell me if they still have this gear what looks like chairs still there between the guests and the stage?

Pretty sure those chairs were added on purpose.

At this point it might reach up to 2 tomorrow.

True!

 

[Gringrinngghost]

Here is a really upclose shot of Trump, they really need to make improvements to him

 

[jbolen2]

I’m surprised he didn’t put his red tie in as a condition of doing the recording.

 

[brb1006]

True!

And the comments might get disabled. Seriously that has to be the most commented video by WDWMagic.

 

[invader]

There are a lot of terrible takes on twitter tonight

 

[drp4video]

Doesn't sound like him. I can't say anything else because it would be political.
