Trump hosts White House Halloween bash amid shutdown

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump welcomed hundreds of costumed children to a Halloween party at the White House, stepping onto the South Lawn to an orchestral “Thriller” while handing out full-sized Hershey bars and Twizzlers in presidential-seal boxes. Temporary barriers masked construction of a new ballroom and demolition of the East Wing, though a bulldozer loomed beyond. The celebration went on despite Trump’s same-day return from a six-day Asia trip and the government shutdown’s 30th day, as Democrats and Republicans remained at odds over expiring health insurance tax credits.
