Trump’s Halloween 'blunder' returns 5 years later as he plays trick on 'trick or treaters'

President Donald Trump is once again being mocked online after a Halloween clip of him placing candy on top of a child’s costume instead of handing it over.

The video, showing Trump carefully balancing a chocolate bar on a child dressed as the DJ Marshmello, was quickly compared to the president doing the same in his last term, on a child dressed as a Minion.

Some supporters praised it as harmless fun and a sign of Trump's humour, while critics called it another example of his odd 'awkward' public interactions.
