"I cannot believe the media produced such beautiful kids. How the media did this, I don't know," he said as he welcomed the kids to join him around his desk.

"Hi kids, did you know your parents are sub-human? Here's some candy!"

"You have no weight problems, that's the good news, right?" he said at one point. "So you take out whatever you need, OK? "

God. The President of the United States, commander-in-chief of the US armed forces and leader of the free world can't even give out candy correctly.

The 'best costume' award went to the 70 year old child who dressed up as a President.

Trump reminds me of MIB's Edgarbug: "I am (badly) dressed up as human. This is how humans communicate. Ha ha! They will never know I am alien!"

Yes it great that these children haven’t been infected with the bias and hatred that their parents in the media have. Seems everyone had a pleasant time including the President.

"No other president gave out sweets to kids on Halloween. Well, they might have sometimes...I don't know...that's what my confectioners say".

Sounds great. I just hope Trump didn't ruin the atmosphere by telling the girls in the picture he'd be dating them in a decade or so.

Naw! The left want so bad can't win any elections, but try to find anything negative with this president, even during Halloween. LOL

Go Trump!

Trump does some things well.

At least they did not hide the names of the confectionary companies. I can smell the Hershey's kisses from here, gotta be good for business.

Trump doesn't need a mask!

Just such hateful comments even during s festive and light hearted occasion. Gonna be a long 7 more tests for some of you.

Biggest Halloween ever. Yuge turnout, great energy.

Yeah at some point liberals are going to have to choose between hating Trump for everything he does (even giving candy to kids) or hating economic prosperity (another 3.0% GDP this quarter).

I agree. Trump shouldn't be using kids at a Halloween party to bash the media or make comments about weight problems. What a lowlife.

Go Trump!

I used to think that Trump supporters loved him in spite of his offensiveness. Now I'm coming to realize that they love him because of it.

Yeah and if Democratic President were in office and did the same thing and the right would comment on it, the left would tell the right to shut up and deal with it. Partisan as usual.

You're right, it's not kind to make fun of obesity, especially when people give in to treats full of fat and sugar.

Come on, everyone loves a bit of candy. As long as I get snickers in my bag, I’m good.

I really do feel uncomfortable watching that, knowing what he thinks about girls and women.

Me thinks we should hold the President to a higher standard than, "a lot of men."

You mean like the wretched “Washington establishment elite?” Good lord, No!

""You have no weight problems, that's the good news, right?" he said at one point."

Notice how he made such a stupid statement after he took the candy from Sanders? And what an insecure child -- he probably felt right at home with the kids, though slightly threatened by their higher intelligence. I mean, how many times did he mention the media and treatment by them?

"Hmmm..Trump could find a cure for cancer and the haters would still cry foul. LOL"

The ever-uncomfortable "LOL", knowing full-well the man couldn't find his hair piece if it weren't glued to his head, or his head if that weren't attached to his neck. Trump IS a cancer, the cure is when he disappears. It's a shame he can't find it sooner.

Trump is the "elite establishment." Nothing in his platform would have any negative consequences for Donny.

And, I was talking about the sexual assualt comment in which you responded "Your describing a lot of men."

Personally, I don't think we should have a president who does something disgusting,"but a lot of other men" think/do the same thing. Is that leadership? Cute

Yeah at some point liberals are going to have to choose between hating Trump for everything he does (even giving candy to kids) or hating economic prosperity (another 3.0% GDP this quarter).

Republicans went with the 'hate Obama for everything he does' strategy, while 'hating' the economic prosperity he brought, and they managed to win the presidency. This has set the winning path to the presidency in the US. Be as outrageous as possible about the ruling leader and party, and when election time comes, everyone will hate the ruling party since they have been painted a target for all the economic and social woes of the day.

And that my friends is why the American political system is broken.

you guys messed up when jobs went down 33,000 last month you immediately said “see it’s Trump’s economy now!” So now it is. Congratulations to our President Trump on 3.0 GDP again! Also for the record setting stock market and consumer confidence. And happy Halloween from the President to all the media children whose parents didn’t boycott the event.

I'd say,"Don't taste anything yet kids, we're going straight to the local hospital to have all of this X-ray'd."

Seems everyone had a pleasant time including the President. easy when you bribe kids with sweets, thats about the only way he can get anybody to come and visit him. Looks like Vader is staring at Trumps Halloween wig

What does any of that have to do with Trump using kids at a Halloween party to make snide comments about the media and weight problems? Adults are not supposed to drag kids into their quarrels. Or is that all going to change under Trumpism?

Bottom line is the "man" doesn't have the decency, demeanor, integrity, or intelligence for the office he holds. Can't even give candy to kids without acting like a jerk.

2 ( +4 / -2 )

He couldn’t help himself, he had to make snide remarks even to children about their parents. Why on earth did these reporters expose their children to such filth?

Keep the issues separate, no one was hurt or destroyed in the process.

Don't go there, I don’t know how many times the left have dragged kids into adult political issues.

Ok, that’s your opinion, many of us think differently.

Trump is less mature than these kids that's he's exploiting. He's the monster, the ghoul, the spoilsport, the killjoy and the ogre. I don't see too many Hispanic kids in the picture. He just HAD to use them kids to bash the press and pump up his ego. How many of these girls in the picture is he going to want to 'date' or marry in 10-15 years? He's just acting the same way when Saddam Hussein held that little ballerina girl on his knee for a photo op. It's a CULT OF PERSONALITY. I never was a fan of Saddam, he was an egotistical tinhorn but this is supposed to the President of the USA for crying out loud. Trump doesn't even have the maturity or phony finesse that other dirtbag dictators thruout history have put on. Trump is a grossly uncouth and immature loudmouth who can't work with others and doesn't know how to shut up and let things slide. A cretin.

Trick or Treat. I see that the usual suspects are, once again, bashing Trump for anything, for everything, and for nothing. Haters gotta hate, that's what they do.

OTOH, a "Trump greets kids in Oval Office for early Halloween treats" is a pleasant change of pace for the normally biased news media outlets.

Interesting. Nice cliche.

Did you read what Trump said?
