Donald Trump wears surprising costume to annual Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago: 'I had 10 minutes'

During Donald Trump's very own Halloween party, he arrived in an unexpected costume choice.

Although the Mar-a-Lago party was jungle-themed, Trump looked quite recognizable, being that he didn't wear a costume at all. 

Instead, he was spotted donning a simple navy blue suit and red tie on October 31. During his press meeting at the festive gathering, he revealed: "I came as Donald Trump," per KCTV5.

He admitted: "I didn't have time to get [ready]… 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."

Trump added: "These are the biggest guys on Wall Street, and they spent all day long getting ready. I only had 10 minutes and I put on a red tie."

Vice President JD Vance on the other hand arrived in a costume, dressed up as Albus Dumbledore, alongside his family who followed the Harry Potter franchise.

Prior to the party, he shared a video dressed up while holding his baby, sharing: "Hey guys, Vice President Dumbledore here, with Little Dobby the Elf, wishing you a Happy Halloween. Have fun. Be safe. Eat a lot of candy." He captioned the clip: "Happy Halloween everyone."

Mar-a-Lago was transformed into a jungle with bright neon green lights all throughout, as well as a caviar bar, and featured a miniature pony and zebra.

Most guests showed up in animal costumes, including snakes, leopards, parrots and even characters from Tomb Raider, that matched the fun theme.

Trump also celebrated Halloween with his annual family-friendly event on October 29, alongside his wife Melania Trump, which was shared on social media.
