Compare what Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump say at Hall of Presidents

The re-opening of the Hall of Presidents at Disney World with President Donald Trump has raised questions on what Trump says versus other presidents.

The practice of having a sitting president speak at the Magic Kingdom attraction started in October 1993 with Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama followed suit, recording their voices.

The content the speeches all reflect on what makes America great and how strong our Democracy is and what it means to be an American.

Clinton’s 207-word speech focused on moving into the new century and moving democracy forward to the world. Bush’s 208-word speech focuses on the new century and how the American Dream is for everyone.

Obama’s 173-word speech talks about what makes America great is the shared spirit. Trump’s 202-word speech also talks about the spirit of America. Both Obama and Trump start of by reciting the Presidential oath.

Here is a look at what each of the presidents have said:

Bill Clinton

My fellow citizens.

We, the heirs of the great American Revolution, as this millennium draws to a close and the 21st Century approaches let us pause to honor the very idea of America.

America mirrors the world diversity, yet it remains united in its struggle to uphold fundamental freedoms. We believe our nation’s happiness still evolves from liberty, from opportunity and from the vision of equality set forth by our country’s Declaration of Independence. And today our nation stands as a symbol of freedom and inspiration to people all around the world.

There is nothing wrong with America that can not be cured by what is right about America. And there is nothing wrong with the world that can not be cured by the ideals of what America represents. Those principles have no borders. And we look forward to a day when those principles extend beyond our borders will have circled the globe.

The quest for democracy must continue until all the people of the world enjoy the freedom we must always fight to preserve.

The spirit of America is as bright and hopeful today as it was in July of 1776 and we are ready to carry our great national experiment forward. Into the next millennium.

George W. Bush

My fellow Americans, when we look back at the history of this country we see a record of almost unbelievable energy, sacrifice, hard work of impossible dreams of that our ancestors dreamed and made real.

We see injustice too that weighs on our hearts even today. But for every injustice there’s always been a voice crying out to right it, and America has always listened to those voices.

We are listening today. And, perhaps it falls to us, this first generation of 21st Century Americans to say once and for all that no child, no race, no creed, no ethnic community will ever again be left out of the American dream. Through education, through the opportunity to work and to enjoy the fruits of that work we can open every closed door expand the horizons of all Americans.

Again and again we return to the same simple principles – freedom, equality. The freedom to create, to prosper, to dream. Equality before the law, in the workplace, and the chance for a better life. And each time, in the process, America grows stronger, the beacon of democracy grows brighter the world looks at new astonishment at what free people can do.

We the people are just getting started.

Barack Obama

I Barack Hussein Obama solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God.

The American dream is as old as our founding, but as timeless as our hopes. It is reborn every day in the heart of every child who wakes up in a land of limitless possibilities, in a country where “we, the people” means all the people. We may come from different places and believe different things, but what makes us American is a shared spirit; a spirit of courage and determination; of kindness and generosity. It is a spirit grounded in the wisdom of the generations that have gone before us, but open to the unimagined discoveries and possibilities on the horizon that lies ahead. Let us enjoy it, cherish it, defend it, and pass it on to our children as the bright and beautiful blessing it is: this enduring American dream.

Donald Trump

I Donald John Trump solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God.

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, or 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 people. Above all, to be American is to be an optimist to believe we can always do better and that the best days of our great nation are still ahead of us.  It’s a privilege 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
