President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump welcomed families to the annual White House Halloween event on October 30, 2025 — but instead of their candy giveaways or spooky décor, it was their wardrobe that set social media buzzing. While the South Lawn glowed with pumpkins and eerie music filled the air, the couple chose traditional attire: Trump in a navy suit and red tie, Melania in a chic fall coat. Their polished look surprised many who expected playful costumes.
Online, reactions poured in. Some joked they had hoped for something more dramatic, with comments like, “I wish he would’ve dressed like a king — red crown and all!” and “They should’ve gone full King and Queen of America!” The chatter came just weeks after nationwide “No Kings” protests criticizing Trump’s leadership, while his campaign’s earlier AI prank showing him in a crown fueled costume expectations even more.
Despite the buzz, not everyone focused on politics. Supporters praised the festive atmosphere, and Trump even recreated a viral moment by placing candy on a child’s head, sparking laughs across social media. Love them or dislike them, the Trumps once again proved they can turn even a Halloween treat event into national conversation.
