Yeah, I saw that. As a journalism student, I'm not sure I agree with their writing/reporting. It's sounding like Disney is still planning on Trump speaking, but they still haven't been able to get a recording for whatever reason. So I wouldn't say a speaking part is "confirmed" like the article implies.
Good to have a statement, but I'm not entirely sure that this clears the air entirely. Disney was likely forced to put this out after word came over the past couple days that HoP wouldn't be opening on time.
