In a week when America seems terribly divided, Ripley’s Entertainment has given us something we can all agree on.

It’s a wax dummy of Donald Trump that we’re pretty sure looks creepy whether you voted for The Donald or not.

(Hey, it’s been a tough week. Baby steps.) 

Ripleys.com
Ripley’s has created three wax figures -- or dummies -- of President-elect Donald Trump.
Ripleys.com
One of the Trump dummies is temporarily on display at the Ripley’s Odditorium in Orlando, Florida. But not for long.
Ripleys.com
Two of the three will be shown in Texas: one at Louis Tussaud’s Palace of Wax in Grand Prairie and the other at Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks in San Antonio.
Ripleys.com
And the third is being sent to Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks in Niagara Falls, Ontario, where it will undoubtedly provide a taste of home for all the Americans planning to emigrate to Canada in the coming months.
Ripleys.com
Ripley’s F/X team started creating the first Trump figure about four months ago. Each one is hand-sculpted by a team of artists.
Ripleys.com
Each wax dummy takes about six weeks to complete ― slightly less time than it will take for the country to transition between administrations.
Ripleys.com
Some folks seem happy to pose with him.
Ripleys.com
But whether these uncanny Trump figures will bridge the chasm dividing America remains to be seen.
Ripleys.com
People will pose next to a lot of things.
Ripleys.com
In a press release, Ripley's said about 50 percent of visitors like the dummy on display while 50 percent loathe it ― just like the election results.

It's hard to tell what holds more crap: Donald Trump or this Trump-themed dog poop bag. Let's call it a draw, but we prefer the bag since we'll be able to get rid of it before November. ($4.99, DonaldTrumpDogPoopBags.com) (credit: DonaldTrumpDogPoopBags.com)
Trump Bobbleheads(03 of14)

Usually, bobblehead dolls have big heads over tiny bodies. The problem with making a Trump bobblehead doll is that no one is as big-headed as "The Donald." No matter what they do, the head will never be bigger than the real Trump's noggin. ($24.95 each, $39.95 for pair) (credit:TrumpBobblehead.com)
Donald Trump Whoopie Cushion(04 of14)

This functions like a normal whoopie cushion, but it's actually called a Donald Trump Gas Bag, because we're not saying "whoopie" at any aspect of Trump's candidacy.($9.99, gas-bags.com/ (credit:Gas-Bags.com/)
Creepy Donald Trump Mask(05 of14)

It's sad enough that people believe anything Trump says -- especially when he insists his hair is real.You won't have that option when you wear this Trump Comb Over Wig, but you have something better: When the party's over, you can get rid of the wig.
