"I came as Donald Trump. I didn’t have time to get — people spent a lot of time and money. Rich people. They spent nine hours getting ready. I had 10 minutes, so I came as Donald Trump."

Said Donald Trump, quoted in "'I Came as Donald Trump': The President Hosts a Luxury Halloween at Mar-a-Lago/President Trump attended his jungle-themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago dressed as a distinctly recognizable figure" (NYT).

Like all NYT links, this is a gift link, and this one has lots of pics from the Mar-a-Lago party, including pics of Donald Trump dressed as Donald Trump, along with rich people interpreting the theme of jungle.

I have heard that Trump might make Nicki Minaj his new press secretary. That would be amazing! I love it. Sexy and combative. Please do this.

I hope he got the extra long tie part correct.

"The party landed at a complicated political moment for the president, just days before the midterm elections."
Trump *lives* for complicated political moments! All his "moments" are political and fraught with complications!

Simpler to show up as ORANGE PUMPKIN

Looking at the photos, it seems the women have taken the adage "you can never be too rich or too thin" to heart. Wolfe's "Social X-rays" also comes to mind.

Loved the photos. Skimmed the text.
