Twitter users are showing their outrage over a Halloween costume for sale on Party City’s website.
The $29.99 costume is a tunic made to look like a brick wall with the words ‘The Wall’ spelled out on the front.
Many social media users believe the costume is a joke on President Trump’s proposed Mexican border wall.

However, another contingent think the costume looks like the album cover for Pink Floyd’s The Wall.
The product description on Party City’s website offers no clues about the costume’s intention.
‘Use this Wall Costume for adults to create a unique Halloween look! This tunic has the appearance of a brick wall complete with a red brick pattern and a headline that reads The Wall. Comfortable and versatile, use this adult costume with other accessories to create your very own Halloween costume. Review the size chart for additional sizing information. Shoes, shirt, shorts, watch, and socks not included,’ the product description reads.
If it is meant to be a play on Trump’s border wall, it won’t be the only one on sale this Halloween season.
In April, Amazon came under fire for selling a border wall jumpsuit with the words ‘Mexico Will Pay!’ on it.
Despite critics flooding the costume with one-star reviews, it was still for sale on Amazon as of Monday.
