Let the likeness wars begin.

Disney World unveiled a fancy new Donald Trump in its newly refurbished Hall of Presidents exhibit on Monday, and well, have a look.

Some said the animatronic figure looked like Hillary Clinton, sparking a conspiracy theory. Others claimed it looked more like actor Jon Voight. One thing is certain though, it does not look like President Donald Trump.

In an attempt at being a cool and hip online brand, the Twitter account for the Orlando location of the wax museum Madame Tussauds decided to hop on the troll wagon with a popular meme that encapsulates how terrible the year 2017 was for all. (The meme actually started to trend in 2016, but 2017 proved to be worse than expected, so it has taken hold again in recent weeks.)

"ME AT THE START OF 2017 VS ME NOW," Tussauds yelled into the void. On the left, the account included a photo of its own wax sculpture for Trump, on the right, a photo of Disney's robot Trump.

Now, to be fair to Disney, their likeness of Trump is much more complex, and actually looks pretty fluid in its movements, while Tussauds' sculpture will probably melt on a hot day.

For a real world reference, here are two of Donald Trump. On the left, a photo from Jan. 23, 2017, and on the right, a photo from Dec. 17, 2017.
