Finally Donald Trump finds a role he was born to do – the Halloween monster
So here’s Donald Trump handing out ‘treats’ to children of the press in the White House for Halloween.
It’s extraordinary stuff from beginning to end, but reaches peak Trump right about the time he says this.
"You have no weight problems, that’s the good news," says President Trump while handing Hallowe'en treats to a little girl.

It's what @realDonaldTrump said to children of members of the press pic.twitter.com/6kr0z73bQT— Leigh Ann Caldwell (@LACaldwellDC) October 27, 2017
‘I cannot believe the media produced such beautiful children. How the media did this. I don’t know. Do you know who they are? They’re the friendly media.
‘She’s Japanese? Beautiful. She’s Japane- I’m gonna be in Japan in two weeks, I’ll be in Japan.
‘You gonna grow up to be like your parents? [Makes sad face]. Mmm.. Don’t answer. That could only get me in trouble that question! You have wonderful parents, right?’
‘[Handing out Hershey chocolates] You have no weight problems, that’s the good news, right?’
‘So how does the press treat you? I’ll be the – you get treated better by the press than anybody in the world, right? I think so. Anyway, well congratulations folks you did a good job. Here [pointing to the children] you did a good job. I wouldn’t say you did very well here [pointing at himself]. But really beautiful children.’
‘They can stay. The parents – maybe not so much. Have a good time everybody.’
Those poor kids probably thought they were visiting an old man in an asylum.

I’m not sure what it is about looking back at these pictures, but it feels like looking at an alternate universe.😔 pic.twitter.com/6w8ecHtOKK
