President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump looked entranced as they handed out Halloween candy to children at the 2025 White House trick-or-treat event.
Although President Trump and the first lady did not dress up for the spooky holiday, video from the event shows them handing out candy to creatively costumed trick-or-treaters on the South Lawn on Thursday, Oct. 30.
The President and First Lady welcomed children of law enforcement, military and government officials, as well as foster and adoptive families to the annual celebration.
Some trick-or-treaters dressed up as elves, lampshades and even former President Abraham Lincoln, while others dressed up as President Trump and his wife.
