in 2016 my nephew said on Halloween he wanted to go as the scariest costume he could think of - Donald Trump as president! Granted, this was before the 2016 election ... after the reality of the first year of the first Trump admin, I'm not sure if he would have been as interested in the costume. But going as Trump for Halloween doesn't necessarily mean anything.
