Trump fortune-telling Zoltar doll provokes NY

NEW YORK:- There's little love for Donald Trump in his hometown these days, so New York has been both tickled and repelled by a fortune-telling, Trump-in-a-box mocking his offense-dishing campaign for president. "Look into my crystal ball and see America's future," intones the animatronic mannequin in the Republican nominee's voice, wearing his trademark red tie, white shirt and dark jacket, complete with a bouffant blonde hairstyle.–AFP

 "Not every woman is a dog - only the fat, disgusting ones. And don't worry: in the future, when I am president, I'll do something about it. We are gonna make America SEXY again!" boomed the doll near Central Park on Thursday.

The Trump-in-a-box has been made to resemble the Zoltar machine made famous in the 1988 Hollywood movie "Big" starring Tom Hanks.

The Trump version has its own Twitter handle, @AllSeeingTrump and website, www.allseeingtrump.com, but its organizers did not respond to an AFP request to comment.

Push a button and it dispenses written fortune slips. "If you wish to see your future... build a fallout shelter," said one in a nod to fears whipped up by the Democrats that Trump cannot be trusted with the nuclear codes.

The Manhattan real estate billionaire and former reality star is crashing in the polls against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, following the emergence last weekend of a 2005 tape in which he boasts of groping women.
