15 best pop culture Halloween costumes for dogs

5. Donald Trump

While 2017 was the year of crazy clowns (and more on that in a second), it has also been the never ending year of Donald Trump. There’s just no escaping him. And that just might be the scariest thing in the world. So why wouldn’t you think of Trump when trying to come up with an appropriately scary Halloween costume for your pup?

We tend to get our Halloween costume inspiration from pop culture and what’s going on in the world. And there’s no denying that Trump is the most famous celebrity in the world right now. So, of course he’d be one of the most popular Halloween costumes.

And there’s just so much to talk about. Seriously. The jokes are ripe for the picking. From the hair, to Trump constantly tweeting, to his actual policies, there are plenty of things you hate that you can work into your dog’s Halloween costume.

There have been a ton of Trump dog Halloween costumes already. One of my favorites, though, was of the dog in a suit and Donald Trump hair with a roll of paper towels that said “Hurricane relief” around its neck, mocking the President’s highly criticized efforts in Puerto Rico. It was absolutely hilarious.

Of course, Trump isn’t the only political figure pups are imitating. There was an amazing Kellyanne Conway dog at the Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade, there are Hillary Clinton dog costumes, and more.

But Trump is the major political costume this year. And there’s just something funny about seeing a dog with a combover.
