Amid the kids dressed in costumes at the White House Halloween celebration on Thursday, Donald and Melania Trump stood out. Not because they were outfitted as anything particularly ghoulish or fantastical, but because they weren’t.
## The Tradition of Presidents at Halloween: How Trump’s Approach Compares to Obama, Biden, and Bush
The White House has long turned into a playground of pumpkins, candy, and costumes each Halloween — a tradition that lets America’s first families show a lighter, more personal side. From the Bushes’ family-friendly festivities to Obama’s dance parties and Biden’s heartfelt greetings, each administration has given the spooky season its own flavor.
This year, however, Donald and Melania Trump’s return to the White House Halloween celebration took a different turn. Amid the sea of children dressed as superheroes, witches, and cartoon characters, the Trumps stood out precisely *because they didn’t dress up at all.*
Wearing formal attire — Donald Trump in his signature dark suit and red tie, Melania in an elegant black coat — the pair greeted trick-or-treaters with smiles and candy but no costumes. Their understated appearance quickly went viral online, with some praising their elegance and others poking fun at the contrast between the festive crowd and their reserved look.
By comparison, former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush often embraced the playful side of the holiday. Obama once handed out candy while joking with kids dressed as mini-presidents and superheroes, while the Bush family famously turned the South Lawn into a full autumn fairground. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have continued the cheerful tone, often coordinating themed outfits and inviting schoolchildren for pumpkin-themed activities.
The Trumps’ minimalist approach sparked debate: was it a statement of seriousness, a rejection of the performative aspects of politics, or simply their personal style? Whatever the reason, it once again proved how even a simple fashion choice can ignite conversation when it happens under the White House lights.

Critics immediately pushed back, calling his estimate unverified and politically charged.
JUST IN: A federal judge in Minnesota barred the Trump administration from destroying or altering evidence in the shooting death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, killed by a Border Patrol agent during an immigration enforcement operation on Saturday. The lawsuit, filed by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, names DHS, ICE, CBP, U.S. Border Control, and Attorney General Pam Bondi as defendants. Pretti allegedly approached agents armed with a 9 mm pistol and resisted disarmament. Judge Eric Tostrud’s injunction preserves evidence, with a hearing Monday. County Attorney Mary Moriarty pledged a thorough, state-level investigation for accountability.
JUST IN: Politics just crossed another red line. At a heated congressional hearing, Rep. Brad Sherman dropped a bombshell calling for impeachment over claims that federal law is being ignored and ICE is being reshaped in dangerous ways. His words weren’t soft. They were direct. Explosive. And now they’re everywhere.
BREAKING: Calls to invoke the 25th Amendment are rising on Capitol Hill after reports tied President Trump’s Greenland interest to his frustration over missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize.

The move escalates criticism into a direct constitutional challenge, making Greenland a major flashpoint in Washington.
