A few days ago, Americans carved their pumpkins as Trumpkins sparking a trend on Twitter similar to the one that launched in 2016. Designed like the face of Trump, which many users thought bore uncanny resemblance with the real. Tthe trend picked up late October 21 as people replaced their traditional Jack-o-Lantern with the US president's pumpkin face. 

Fixing a golden blonde wig atop an orange pumpkin, exactly with the shade resembling Trump's hair, people carved the pumpkin as president attired in a Brioni with a red tie. Further, many illuminated the fruit symbolic of Halloween with candles, strategically creating Trump's face with a silhouette that reflected classic deep orange tint. Internet users mainly in the US and the UK  circulated the creative Trumpkin' pictures for Halloween 2020 across social media with the hashtag #Trumpkin. Many decorated the eerie Trump jack-o'-lantern with slogans that read Make Halloween great again, a witty twist to the US president’s Make America great again campaign slogan.
