White House Posts A Series Of Memes

President Donald Trump is leaning fully into Halloween spirit—and this year, it’s all about tricks for Democrats and treats for his supporters.

In a sharp, satirical turn that blends holiday humor with pointed political jabs, the White House lit up social media on Wednesday with a series of Halloween-themed memes, gleefully roasting top Democrats like Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Sen. Chuck Schumer as the Schumer Shutdown dragged into its 29th day. While it's unclear whether President Trump had a direct hand in crafting the viral posts, the tone, timing, and tongue-in-cheek wit bear his unmistakable stamp.


One meme showed “costume suggestions” for Halloween, styled like retail packaging. The Jeffries “costume,” the post joked, comes with a sombrero, a forgettable filibuster speech, and pointedly notes that common sense is not included. The Schumer get-up, meanwhile, boasts “your money given to illegals,” a “lifetime subscription to performative outrage,” and again, no spine included.

The message? Clear. The packaging? Brutally clever. The caption? “Choose wisely…”

But the real punchline came in the contrast with the Trump and JD Vance costumes.

The Trump costume—described with mock grandeur—includes all seven swing states and 77 million popular votes. The only thing not included? A crown. The Vance costume, equally tongue-in-cheek, includes the word please, viral “you didn’t say thank you” memes, and specifically notes that “Fat JD has curly hair” is not part of the package.


This Halloween trolling hit exactly the tone Trump-world has mastered: mocking, memorable, and ready to go viral. It serves dual purposes—amusing the base while continuing to frame Democrats as unserious, out of touch, or flailing amid the ongoing shutdown battle.

Of course, this isn’t Trump’s first Halloween headline. He and First Lady Melania Trump have long embraced the holiday with signature flair. Who could forget the 2019 viral clip where President Trump gingerly placed a piece of candy on top of a child’s Minion costume because the oversized headpiece left no room for hands? The video resurfaced this week, reminding everyone of Trump's unique (and often unscripted) brand of showmanship.


This year, the White House grounds are already decked out in fall splendor—thick garlands of pumpkins and leaves, warmly lit lanterns, and the kind of classic Americana harvest look that’s been a staple since 2017. Images from past years show columns wrapped in ivy, hay bales stacked with pumpkins, and festive treats handed out to children of military families and White House staff.

First Lady Melania Trump shared a sneak peek of this year's decorations ahead of Thursday night’s trick-or-treat festivities, and it’s already clear: the White House is fully embracing the season.
