The newest DIY Halloween-project isn’t make your own Pumpkin Spice Latte or Witch’s Hat Cake, it’s #Trumpkin Pumpkin.


The startling resemblance between the Republican nominee Donald Trump and October’s ubiquitous orange gourd has inspired many amatuer and professional artists to ditch the traditional smiling Jack-O-Lantern in favor of a more comical holiday display. 

From Boston to Des Moines to Canada, Instagram and Twitter users are sharing their spooky creations using the hashtag #MakeHalloweenGreatAgain.
