Cathie, sorry but not a good argument. Nixon didn't finish his second term. Nevertheless he has his animatronic in this attraction ! So why not for Trump ? I agree with the argument of letting only Gettysburg's adress by Lincoln in the Hall. At least no political problem, unless some people want Washington and Jefferson be removed as slave owners.
I saw this day that the Hall of Presidents not still open. But I have an alternative. Ten minutes by foot from my home in Paris, there is the grave of Marquis of La Fayette (and his wife) who struggled with Washington. He was not president of the USA (as a French subject of king Louis XVIth), but instrumental in the alliance between France and the "Insurgents" for the independance of the American colonies. So it will be a subsidiary and less costly for transportation !!!
So you want La Fayetteville at the Hall of Presidents? Paul you are an absolute hoot
Frankly speaking I don't know La Fayetteville, although the name I can find in Microsoft Encarta Encyclopaedia. And I will look for . Be sure. Worse for the La Fayettes's grave, close to my home : on it there is an American flag given every year by the Daughters of the American Revolution, an organization reputed to be a rightist one. In WWI general Pershing came in this cemetary (it's called Picpus cemetary and contains two mass graves with 5000 people executed during the French revolution in 1793-1794), and said "Lafayette we are back". Far from Disney things I recognize. Today I heard that 21st Century Fox has been bought by TWDC. We will never see again Shirley Temple, Tyrone Power, Marilyn Monroe, Henry Fonda and others. But as the 20 th edition of Star Wars, no problem.

I agree. If Cathie is right and they are waiting to see if Trump remains in presidency then they might not reopen the attraction until after he out. Whether Trump gets kicked out of presidency or not, he is STILL the president and (as you put compared to Nixon) he should still be in the Hall of Presidents.

"Following a year-long transformation, The Hall of Presidents will officially reopen at Magic Kingdom Park on Tuesday, December 19, with enhancements that will bring the story of the American presidency to life as never before. The epic theatrical production was envisioned by Walt Disney himself to honor the country by honoring the presidents of the United States.
This endeavor began with a single animated figure of President Abraham Lincoln that was developed for the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. In 1971, advances in technology made it possible for Imagineers to make Walt Disney’s vision a reality by including every chief executive who ever served the United States of America.

The history of innovation at The Hall of Presidents continues to this day. In addition to updating the show’s content, Imagineers have incorporated the latest in theatrical design and Audio-Animatronics technology. Landmark moments in history come alive on a panoramic 180-degree screen that transports guests across more than 200 years of the American story. High-impact projection, sound, lighting and other enhancements take guests into rare and indelible moments in history that helped define a nation.
As has been the tradition with every new president since the attraction debuted, an Audio-Animatronics figure of President Donald J. Trump has been added to the show and features the latest advances in technology that enable smoother and more lifelike movements. President Trump personally recorded remarks exclusively for The Hall of Presidents, just as each sitting president has done for the attraction since the early 1990s."
The Hall of Presidents at the Magic Kingdom reopened today after a lengthy refurbishment. The refurbishment includes Donald Trump as the current president who delivers a speaking role, but also a redeveloped story and script as well as an upgraded lighting, projection, and sound package. Entering the rotunda yields new exhibits explaining Walt Disney’s vision for a presidents show and his passion for Abraham Lincoln, as well as a cabinet with original busts used for the development of the attraction. These new exhibits are a fantastic addition, one that will please fans of the parks and Walt’s legacy.
