Donald Trump Is Halloween's Worst Nightmare On New Yorker Cover

"Boo!"

Even scary-looking characters run from a trick-or-treating Donald Trump on The New Yorker’s Halloween-themed cover.

In the artwork titled “Boo!” that fronts the Nov. 5 issue, the president grins as he saunters down the street holding two jack-o’-lantern buckets overstuffed with candy. But his presence strikes fear into other trick-or-treaters dressed in spooky costumes. They attempt to skedaddle as their hard-earned treats fall to the ground.

“I somehow equate Washington politicians with scary monsters,” the artist, Mark Ulriksen, said.

Last year, Trump was depicted as a “dangerous clown” in an issue published just before Halloween.
