Trump puts candy on kid's head at White House Halloween party | In full

President Donald Trump greeted trick-or-treaters at the White House Halloween event on Thursday night — and once again placed candy on top of a child’s costume. The president, joined by first lady Melania Trump, distributed candy for about an hour outside the White House, which was decked out in pumpkins, leaves, and other decorations for the event.

The moment has already made the rounds on social media. In a post with hundreds of likes and re-shares, one user uploaded today’s clip side-by-side with the 2019 viral moment.
