Confused tourists visiting Walt Disney World this week witnessed an unhinged man screaming “Lock him up!” at an animatronic likeness of President Trump.
Comedian Jay Malsky’s rage over the election of Mr. Trump boiled over into shouts inside The Hall of Presidents at the Magic Kingdom Park in Florida. Video by the man was uploaded to Twitter on Wednesday, along with onlookers who added their own versions to YouTube.
“Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!” Mr. Malsky exclaims in the video, which ends with a park employee asking the audience to remain seated.
Other footage of the incident includes one man replying, “He’s not real!”
“I protested @realDonaldTrump at the #hallofpresidents cuz I’ll never get this close in real life probs. #lockhimup,” Mr. Malsky tweeted afterward.

“Though the attraction officially reopened on Dec. 19, we’re honestly a bit surprised it took this long to happen,” The Orlando Weekly reported Thursday.
The Daily Wire also reported on the ordeal by calling Mr. Malsky a “crazed man who clearly needs a hobby.”
Mr. Trump’s recorded audio for the presentation follows a nonpartisan script about the Founding Fathers, the power of optimism, and the belief that “the best days of our great nation are still ahead of us.”
