[custom_adv] One day after being tricked — so to speak — by World Series spectators, President Donald Trump stood outside the White House to treat costumed children on Monday. [custom_adv] During a Halloween event held in front of the South Portico of the White House, Trump, 73, and First Lady Melania Trump, 49, waited on an orange carpet surrounded by fall decorations as a line of young trick-or-treaters presented their baskets for goodies. [custom_adv] The evening prior to the celebration, the first couple attended Game 5 of the World Series at the National’s home stadium in Washington, D.C. When their attendance was made known via the field’s big screen, the Trumps elicited boos and mocking chants of “lock him up” from the crowd (as well as some claps and cheers — but the dissenters were louder). [custom_adv] Monday’s Halloween event also came amid the president’s ongoing — frequently exclamatory and occasionally all-caps — Twitter attacks on the impeachment investigation in Congress.Trick-or-treating has always been a tried and true activity on Halloween. [custom_adv] It's tradition every year for the president and first lady to pass out candy to excited trick-or-treaters, but as with everything President Donald Trump does, he made the moment his own. When one excited kid showed up dressed as a minion from the popular 2010 film Despicable Me, President Trump decided to place a candy bar on the child's head. To make things even wackier, the first lady Melania Trump joined in on the fun. [custom_adv] The child in question couldn't reach his head because of the costume, therefore, the candy bars toppled to the ground. However, it seems a White House aide was there to retrieve the candy and put it in the child's bag. [custom_adv] [custom_adv] While very brief, the moment picked up steam when the powers that be got a hold of it on Twitter. Let's just say, the American public found the cute—albeit very strange—moment absolutely hysterical.
