A Real Zebra, Black Caviar and Animal-Inspired Costumes: Donald Trump Hosts a “Wild Jungle” Halloween Party at Mar-a-Lago

Donald Trump went all out for Halloween this year. The U.S. president hosted a themed party at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, turning the holiday into a lavish social event featuring exotic animals, gourmet treats and unusual entertainment.

The celebration followed a jungle theme. Guests arrived dressed in animal costumes and leopard prints, while the most unexpected guest of the evening was a live zebra. Organizers also arranged a puppet show, and the tables were laden with black caviar and Alaskan king crab.

Trump himself, however, apparently did not spend much time putting together a costume. When reporters asked what he had dressed up as, the president smiled and replied: “I came as Donald Trump. I didn't have time. People spent a lot of time and money. Rich people. They spent nine hours getting ready, and I had ten minutes, so I came as Donald Trump.”

The president also spoke to reporters about the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. He said he felt confident and believed things were going well in the country.
