Don Jr. And Eric Ripped For Wearing The Most Self-Own Halloween Costumes Ever

After Eric Trump and brother Don Jr. both dressed up as different versions of "garbage" for Halloween, their critics didn't hold back.

Brothers Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. were widely mocked after dressing up as different versions of "garbage" for Halloween—and their critics really let them have it.

Their costume choices came after their father, former President Donald Trump, participated in a Wisconsin garbage truck stunt.


The elder Trump almost fell getting into a campaign-branded garbage truck. He eventually managed to step into the truck, engaging in a quick conversation with reporters as he peered out the window—a scene reminiscent of his recent staged photo op at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania earlier this month.

Trump Jr. shared a video of himself modeling his garbage costume that was topped off with a MAGA hat for good measure.

Meanwhile, Eric Trump shared a photo of himself wearing a garbage bag while with his family. The post, titled "American Garbage," included the following cloying message:

"Happy Halloween Friends! We love you all! Eric, Lara, Luke, Carolina, Charlie and Ben!"

You can see it below.

It was very on the nose—and people were quick to point it out.

Were the Trump brothers telling on themselves? It seemed so!




The garbage truck incident—and these garbage costumes—unfolded in the wake of backlash Trump and fellow Republicans have encountered over comments made by MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a weekend Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, where he referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”

Trump, in turn, seized on a remark from Biden on Wednesday appearing to refer to Trump supporters as "garbage," although Biden made clear what he really meant in real-time.

But Hinchcliffe's "joke" has complicated the final days of Trump's campaign: Puerto Rican stars Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin have expressed their support for Harris, while reggaeton singer Nicky Jam, who also has connections to the island, cited recent remarks as the reason for withdrawing his endorsement of Trump on Wednesday.

Robert Downey Jr. Reveals Gwyneth Paltrow Had No Clue Who Tom Holland Was Despite Starring In Several Movies With Him

It’s been nearly six years since Gwyneth Paltrow last suited up as Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, yet according to Robert Downey Jr., she still struggles to tell certain Avengers apart.

Downey Jr. roasted his longtime co-star in spectacular fashion while presenting her with The Hollywood Reporter’s Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, a moment that played less like a formal tribute and more like Tony Stark gently ribbing Pepper for forgetting who Spider-Man is.

Gavin Newsom Just Hilariously Trolled President Trump's New 'Walk Of Fame' With A Brutal One Of His Own

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump by riffing off the presidential "Walk of Fame" Trump unveiled in the White House back in September, gifting us the "Presidential Walk of Fatigue" instead.

In September, Trump's assistant Margo Martin shared a video of a hallway filled with the portraits of former U.S. presidents. Martin announced that "The Presidential Walk of Fame has arrived on the West Wing Colonnade," and the video she shared pans over multiple portraits of former presidents before lingering on an image of Biden's autopen signature.
