PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: President Donald Trump had a rather unconventional Halloween costume this year, choosing to show up as himself rather than dress up as another character.
Speaking at his Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday, October 31, Trump joked that while other guests spent hours preparing their outfits, he needed just 10 minutes to get ready.
Trump jokes about spending just 10 minutes on Halloween costume

Trump attended the Halloween celebration in his familiar presidential attire, wearing his usual formal suit and red tie. Rather than opting for an elaborate disguise, the president turned his everyday appearance into his Halloween look.
“These people spend a lot of time and money, rich people. And they spend nine hours getting ready. I had ten minutes. So I came as Donald Trump,” the president said.

His remark came as he compared his preparation time with that of other attendees, who reportedly spent considerable time and money putting together their costumes.
The president's tongue-in-cheek comment offered a humorous take on the festivities, with Trump suggesting that he did not need to become someone else for Halloween.
