Halloween is supposed to be a bit of a weird holiday. But it just got a WHOLE lot weirder. This year's so-weird-you-can't-make-it-up trend? The Trumpkin. Jack-o-lantern artists all over the country are carving the presidential candidate's countenance in pumpkin. Have a look at a couple that are trending now:


Artist Jeanette Paras with her 374-pound Trumpkin and yard sign.
Mark my words: you'll see a lot of Trumpkins out tomorrow night. Some will be painted instead of carved. Or some combination of both. Mixed media Trumpkins sport fake hair, eyes, hats and more. In fact, there are SO many of the Things out there (just Google #Trumpkin), it's hard to choose the best. But the folks over at SportsGrid.com have made their choice:


Artist Monique Hawk's Winning Trumpkin

Ms. Hawk's creation took home top honors because she, "Used every bit of the pumpkin to make her creation." It is an entirely sculpted piece, without use of paints or toupees. Of course, art is completely subjective. But you have to admit: any artist who can sculpt a convincing combover out of pumpkin...that's pretty impressive.

While lots of people are already tired of Trumpkins clogging up their social media feeds, I'm enjoying them. Don't worry, Things will go back to normal and the Trumpkin will soon be displaced by LOL Cats and Dog Shaming. The way I see it, everyThing will be okay — as long as Starbucks doesn't start offering a Trumpkin Spice Latte.

Happy Halloween! See you next week,
Bobby
