Stephen Colbert Returns With a One-Man Roast of Disney's Trump Robot by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Jan 3, 2018 4:14 PM UTC  by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Jan 3, 2018 4:14 PM UTC _The Late Show_ was on hiatus when the [robotic version of President Donald Trump](http://time.com/5070693/disney-hall-presidents-donald-trump/?iid=sr-link2) made its debut at the Walt [Disney](http://time.com/5064600/how-the-simpsons-predicted-disneys-takeover-of-fox/?iid=sr-link1) World’s Hall of Presidents, so when the show returned on Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert set about making his appraisal of the animatronic president. “That is truly disturbing,” said Colbert. “I know one sculptor who did not vote for him.” Colbert went on to compare the robot’s …er, unique facial features to “Jon Voight after a chemical spill.” Colbert was not alone in thinking that the robo-Trump bore an eerie resemblance to the actor—[feelings circulated](http://time.com/5070995/disney-trump-robot-internet-reactions/?iid=sr-link1) on Twitter that Disney had not made a Trump robot per se, but instead had simply thrown “[some different hair on the Jon Voight](https://twitter.com/SamGrittner/status/942964532045074434)” robot. Colbert wasn’t done with his one-man roast of the animatronic statue, though. He also shared “footage” of the Trump robot mocking the presidents with whom he shares the hall, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln (“he’s such a liar”). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5085689/colbert-trump-disney-robot-spoof/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5085689/colbert-trump-disney-robot-spoof/"},"headline":"'Jon Voight After a Chemical Spill.'
