Best Pop Culture Halloween Costumes To Wear This Year
Donald Trump
There's little doubt that now President Donald Trump has consumed the news. So, it should come as no surprise that he will be one of the most popular costumes this year. There are plenty of outlets that are getting pretty creative this year, too. You can go the traditional route with an oversized red or blue tie that goes well below the waist line along with a dark suit, yellow/orange hair and the American flag pin, or choose from other items to imitate the Donald. Pick up the "Make America Great Again" hat, get a mask, or pick up one of those funny shirts with an ironic phrase from Donald Trump. If you really want to look like him, just take a look at Alec Baldwin and his SNL skits.
