It’s been a pretty crappy few days of political news, so I figured this would help balance the sadness and suck.
POTUS and FLOTUS hosted a SPPPPPOOOOOOOOOKY Halloween party at the White House Sunday night. I didn’t even know the White House hosted that sort of thing, but hey. I’m all for it. Heck– I would TOTALLY be that person to dress up as something ridiculous and party at the White House. (JK. I know it’s for kids, OK?)
Seriously though. This sounds like it was SO FUN (for the kids yeah yeah yeah whatev).
The Trumps stood on the South Lawn between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. as children streamed by, picking up candy from the couple’s baskets.
The two stood at the center of an elaborate Halloween display involving pumpkins, an orange carpet, and a white sign that read “Halloween.” The U.S. Air Force Band played holiday-themed music, including the Harry Potter theme song, played as children dressed as pumpkins, ballerinas, Mario and more passed through.
The U.S. Air Force Band playing the Harry Potter theme song? HECK YEAH!
I am very much here for the military band playing Harry Potter 🧙♀️🧙♂️ pic.twitter.com/G2sSpv0ngZ

That is probably my favorite thing that has ever happened. I am SO here for it.
Here are some pics from the event:

Hard to tell but two of the girls are dressed as sushi – and briefly went rogue before this photo was snapped 🍣 pic.twitter.com/Q0iWgPzrcn
