People were dressing up as Donald Trump for Halloween long before he became president, but the latest costume inspired by the businessman-turned-politician is meant for both his critics and his fans.
The team behind the incredibly successful F**kJerry social media accounts and the What Do You Meme? game have created the ‘Ride on Trump’ costume — which is cleverly designed to make it look like the wearer is sitting on the president’s shoulders.
‘Hate Trump? Love Trump? Want to cry? This costume is for you!’ the site says of the $79.99 costume.
Clever idea: The ‘Ride on Trump’ Halloween costume is designed to make the wearer look like he or she is sitting on the president’s shoulders
Inspiration: The $79.99 costume is one of the many Donald Trump costumes that is being offered this Halloween season
The getup features a disheveled-looking Trump wearing a navy suit, a long red tie, and an American flag pin on the lapel of his jacket.
In addition to his wild orange hair, his mouth is open as if he is yelling, and he has a pair of stuffed legs hoisted over his shoulders.
The costume is designed so Trump’s bottom half is made up of the wearer’s legs, which allows the person to walk, skip, jump, and run while appearing to be on the president’s shoulders.
The site selling the costumes insists it is ‘probably the funniest costume of all time’, and it’s hard not to crack a smile while watching a video of someone testing out the getup during a stroll through New York City.

Most of Trump’s critics wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a costume inspired by him, but the makers note that this getup is for his ‘haters and lovers alike’.
‘Haters can make fun of his scary face, s**t on him (figuratively), and express themselves with signs and other augmentations. While lovers can suit up and throw on a MAGA hat for a presidential Halloween,’ they explained.
Fans of the costume may need to act fast, as there are only 15,000 in existence, according to the site.
