I work in the Capitol. The John Bolton bit was clearly real because that was right at the point where he would be going into the Senate. The other bit though at the long staircase with all the costumes was in a House office building. Shouldn't have been off limits so I feel like that was an actor.

The great thing is that when one person gets kicked out they hand the puppet to someone else and they get a turn with it. Triumph never gets kicked out.
From what I have heard just about everyone has decided it is best not to take any further action with Triumph and his team beyond the bare minimum that is needed to contain any potential situation where they immediately are - and that comes from both lawyers and PR specialists. If something should escalate to an altercation or anything that results in charges / legal action, it would look comical for the party opposing Triumph ("Geez, you can't handle a puppet?" "You are wasting the courts/police time" "This would be a PR field day for Triumph & Co." "Where's your sense of humour you idiots!" etc). Sure, if Triumph and Co. were to do something silly that seriously jeopardised public safety then that could change things, but they are smarter than that, they know the limits, those limits are greater than what the general public can get away with...so Go Triumph! :D
