Happy Halloween from the White House! On Friday, US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump threw open the gates for their annual trick-or-treat event. Kids came dressed as famous pop culture stars and even the President and First Lady themselves. They marched onto the South Lawn, where Trump and Melania handed out candies in person. The 79-year-old MAGA leader sported his trademark red "45-47 POTUS" baseball cap and a smart suit, while the 55-year-old First Lady shone in a trench coat with bright neon orange lining, fully embracing the spooky festival spirit. A viral moment stole the show! Trump showed he is just as cool with internet memes as the younger crowd, recreating a hilarious trick he did back in 2019. That year, he placed a candy piece on the head of a kid dressed as a Minion, which made everyone burst out laughing online. This year, 2025, he went for version 2.0 by putting a candy bar on the head of a child dressed as DJ Marshmello. Instead of dropping the candy in the bag, Trump carefully balanced it on the masked helmet. The kid looked confused briefly but soon got the joke, walking away with the candy on his head. Both Trump and Melania smiled widely watching the funny scene. The internet loved the meme! Conservative commentator Berry Johnson shared the moment on X (formerly Twitter), saying, "PART TWO: President Trump just put a candy bar on a trick-or-treater's head AGAIN. He really did it again." Fans praised Trump’s light-hearted side during the festival. One wrote, "This is a strong granddad move. This and only putting a drop of soda in the grandkids' cup when they ask for refills." Another said, "Only Trump could turn handing out candy into prime-time entertainment. 🍬😂 Love him or hate him — nobody does Halloween like 45 & Melania. 🎃" The White House Halloween was packed with fun. A mother dressed her kids in a McDonald's “Order Here” cart costume rolling through the grounds—a cheeky nod to Trump's surprise appearances as a fast food worker during his 2024 presidential campaign. The official White House Rapid Response account jokingly tweeted, “President Trump, former McDonald’s worker himself, greets new Drive-Thru employees at the White House.” Trump and Melania even gave candy to a trio of kids dressed as themselves, posing for photos and giving a high-five to Trump’s little impersonator. More sweet moments followed as the President signed golf balls and TIME Magazine covers for the children, reported The Independent. Meanwhile, the Air Force Band played spooky hits like "Thriller," "Ring of Fire," and "Radioactive," adding to the festive magic. This White House Halloween was one for the books, filled with laughter, surprise, and candy galore!
