President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump hosted the annual Halloween celebration at the White House on 29 October 2026, distributing sweets to children in various costumes. The event included trick-or-treating, music, and a flyover by a presidential aircraft, which drew criticism for its low altitude. The aircraft flew at an altitude of between 400 feet and 1,000 feet, below the federal guideline of at least 1,000 feet for military flyovers. The D.C. Council criticized the short notice given to residents and officials, with some receiving only 15 minutes' warning. The celebration also featured a child in a Soviet-style military cap, which sparked debate on social media.
