Trump Fortune Telling Machine in NYC: Where Will He Go Next?

New Yorkers are anxious to know the next location of the Trump Zoltar machine that's been popping up all over the city.

MIDTOWN, NY — First he was in Brooklyn. Next, he was in front of Trump Towers. Then, he was in front of Trump International Hotel. Now where will he go? New Yorkers are wondering where the "All-Seeing Trump" machine, a parody of the Zoltar machine in the movie "Big," will be seen next.

A mysterious anonymous customer that ordered the machine and wrote its dialogue has been dropping the fortune telling machine unexpectedly in different locations, where it has garnered large crowds. They told Patch through email Thursday afternoon that they were in Union Square, but they "were running around like crazy" and didn't know where they would be next because his battery was running out.

"Honestly, it adds to the mystery of the whole thing, the fact that they're dropping it off at various locations," Olaf Stanton, CEO of the company called Characters Unlimited, Inc. that manufactured the Trump Zoltar machine, told Patch. "Nobody knows who or what is behind it."

Interestingly enough, Stanton is a Trump supporter, Patch reported Wednesday.

CNN, so far, has recorded the highest number of sound bites out of the device. "I'm getting a vision now... We set a lot of fires, mostly in black neighborhoods, and we burn it all down. They can roast marshmallows, it'll be fun," he says. He also talks about carpet bombing Syria to get rid of ISIS.
