Most adults are well-practiced at handing out Halloween candy for trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

For a U.S. President, the tradition of handing candy to trick-or-treaters at the White House is far easier than negotiating trade deals with foreign countries, deescalating international and domestic conflicts, and working to get support for policy.


Trump still managed to make it awkward.

The President and First Lady Melania Trump were giving candy to a child dressed as one of the Minions from Pixar's Despicable Me.

Instead of placing the candy in the child's bag, they inexplicably placed it atop the head of the child's inflatable costume, sending the sweets sliding into the bag of a nearby Spider-Man.

In her 2024 memoir, No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, Noem bragged about shooting and killing her 14-month-old Wire-haired Pointer puppy named Cricket after she failed to train it properly and without trying to rehome the dog to a competent trainer or a hunting dog rescue.

Trump Gives Pious Reminder That The Bible Says To Care For 'Vulnerable Children'—And The Hypocrisy Is Off The Charts

President Donald Trump was called out for hypocrisy after he said during the signing of an executive order expanding resources for the foster care system that the Bible instructs society to care for "vulnerable children and orphans"—only for people to point out that he had denied Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to hungry children just days before.

The loss of SNAP is a result of the Trump administration's failure to spend contingency funds to feed people on the program, a decision that is resulting in a nationwide hunger crisis impacting millions of families.

Conservatives Slam Trump After His Attack On GOP Rep's Marriage Is A Low Blow Even For Him

President Donald Trump has been married three times, but his hypocrisy escaped him entirely when he attacked Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie for getting remarried last month following the death of his first wife in 2024—prompting his own party to call him out for going too far.

Last week, Massie announced he'd married his wife, Carolyn Grace Moffa, in late October. His first wife and "high school sweetheart," Rhonda Howard Massie, died in June 2024.
