Melania Trump is hosting Halloween at the White House on Monday afternoon and will open the South Lawn to “ghosts and goblins of all ages.” The ghosts and goblins she is inviting are children and parents from more than 20 District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia schools, military families and community organizations, according to a press release from the Office of the First Lady on Friday.
The event scheduled from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. will feature bats and pumpkins with profiles of past presidents, but the White House didn’t say which ones. Fog will cloud the air and the South Portico will be decorated with spider webs for a “festive look and feel,” the release from her office states.
Trump on Saturday night tweeted a teaser to the event from @FLOTUS on Twitter. The picture showed the interior of a White House window with webs and purple lighting, captioned, “The People’s House @WhiteHouse is ready to celebrate Halloween 2017.”
Critics of President Donald Trump attacked her tweet immediately. Twitter user David Duran, whose profile states that he was blocked by the president on the social media platform, replied, “Yeah, no need for decor…with you and your husband in there, that place is a f--ing nightmare already.”
Another Twitter user, @RichardMSchmitz, replied, “I have a better idea,” and posted a photoshopped image of the White House window with jail bars.
Not all the responses were disapproving. Many Twitter users showed support and praised Melania Trump, though it’s unclear if she put up any of the decorations herself.
The first lady’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham on Friday tweeted a photo of workers spreading cobwebs on windows outside the White House in preparation for trick-or-treaters.
Melania Trump and the president will hand out cookies baked by the White House pastry kitchen and “Presidential M&M’s,” among other candies to trick-or-treaters. Items banned from the event include toy weapons of any kind, electric stun guns, balloons and selfie sticks.
Last Halloween, then-President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama welcomed more than 4,000 people mostly from 15 Washington-area elementary schools and military families to an Alice in Wonderland themed celebration with teacups and rabbits, and danced to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”
Melania Trump is the most popular member of the Trump family working and living in the White House, according to recent polls.
Yes, I can't wait. Melania Trump: Make The White House Fun Again.
No more lectures on the advantages of brussel sprouts or how bad your parents are for letting you eat candy.
Why are liberals so angry? It's as if they were spoiled as children and were handed whatever they wanted. They're having temper tantrums.
They do public events all the time.
When did Odungo ever act like he respected anybody?
That is great, file a report for us!
“I am sure she can also be found wiping down baseboards and doing the laundry on Mondays.”
LOL!
And on Tuesdays, she bakes bread and on Sundays she kills and cleans a chicken with her bare hands, and pops it in the oven while she’s at Church! ;)
Lucky! :)
Second from left imitating a jack'o'lantern.
I attended a Republican brunch yesterday and somebody supplied the greatest cut out to greet us at the door. It was a life sized DOUBLE picture of Donald and Melania Trump. Stupidly, I forgot to have my picture taken with them because I was having such a good time at the party. Didn’t think about it until later. I’m sure that it will pop up again at some event.
Please let us know all about it!

We’re on a site called Nextdoor that is set up by neighborhood and I have noticed this year, almost NO posts about providing healthy treats where in previous years we had a lot. My thoughts were: A) How many healthy treats comes individually packaged? I’m thinking fruit etc. B) Is that what kids wants? Healthy treats? Nah.
When the (almost) demands started for healthy treats we just stopped handing out anything. Some neighbors were terrible, going to people’s doors and complaining about candy, so we gave up. That seems to have greatly lessened this year, so we’re going to hand out candy again.

Were 4 times slots and the Trumps came out during the first time slot- according to my mom who saw them on the news. We didn’t get to see them which was sad. Had a blast anyhow. Event was big on stickers, etc. from government agencies who had different stations. There were a ton of people there so everyone was told to take pics and move on. I think most were disappointed they didn’t get to see the President. Lots of MAGA hats. It just takes so much security to put something like that on. That was the most fascinating part actually. Really fun!
