Trump’s comment on a trick-or-treater’s weight has Twitter raging
Barely a day goes by when we don’t cringe or shudder over the words of the President of the United States of America, and Halloween is certainly no exception.
President Trump decided to ‘treat’ children of the White House press reporters yesterday, by opening up the Oval Office for a spot of trick-or-treating.
Trump, who is a grandfather of eight, welcomed little ones dressed in an array of costumes, from Princess Leia and Darth Vader, to witches and princesses.
Cameras rolled and flashed as Trump handed out chocolate to the eager trick-or-treaters, jokingly exclaiming: 'I cannot believe the media produced such beautiful children! How the media did this, I don’t know!'
Eyes rolled, however, as he handed out candy to a little girl, saying, 'You have no weight problems. That’s the good news, right?'
Once footage and reports of the exchange rolled out across the media, people took to Twitter to express concern that the President would raise such a sensitive topic around young children.
"You have no weight problems, that’s the good news," says President Trump while handing Hallowe'en treats to a little girl. Deplorable Chief

'I shudder to think what Trump might have said if he thought the kid did have a weight problem,' one person tweeted.
Trump views Halloween as a special time when you creep-out trick-or-treaters by making weird comments about their parents, weight and looks,' another added.
My list of "can't evens" about this is a MILE LONG. #Trump tells reporters' children they 'have no weight problems,' https://t.co/FsYKeZRZkr

'Don’t know why Trump felt it appropriate to comment on these kids’ looks and weight,' another chimed in.
The trick-or-treat party is in stark contrast to last year’s festivities at the White House, where Barack and Michelle Obama greeted children on the lawn.
Dressed in casual jeans, the former President and First Lady giggled as they met tiny trick-or-treaters decked out in amazing costumes – who could forget the little Pope?!
What a difference a year makes, eh?!
