‘The View’ dresses kids up for Halloween as convicted NY criminals Trump, Delvey

“The View” celebrated Halloween this year with kids dressed up as “Hot Topics” headlines — and of course, convicted New York criminals Donald Trump and Anna Delvey made the cut.
The long-running ABC chatfest, which usually goes all out with a heavily produced, pre-taped spectacle featuring the co-hosts wearing elaborate costumes, decided to broadcast live this year to focus on the current news cycle leading up to Tuesday’s presidential election.

However, children still got in on the spooky fun for the mainstay “Boo Are You Wearing?” segment, dressing up to represent the most headline-grabbing subjects of the past year.
One young boy took on the persona of Trump, wearing an unkempt wig and a trench coat that revealed items for sale inside.
“He never misses an opportunity to make money,” the show’s wardrobe supervisor Ashley Alderfer-Kaufman said in her introduction of the child. “This year alone, he’s been hawking everything, from gold sneakers and gold watches to gold coins and gold chocolate bars.  Are we detecting a pattern here, yet? He’s also offering Trump trading cards and even a Trump bible.”
Other kids strutted their stuff as “childless cat ladies,” in reference to controversial remarks Trump’s running mate JD Vance made about unmarried female Democrats.
A little girl also appeared in the likeness of Delvey — another famed felon who previously ripped “The View” over its coverage when she briefly competed on season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars.” The girl bent down to grab a piece of candy out of a glittery ankle monitor on her leg.
“Controversial contestant Anna Delvey, nicknamed ‘The Fake Heiress,’ is a convicted felon and currently on house arrest,” Alderfer-Kaufman said. “So, what’s a girl to do when forced to wear an ankle monitor? Bedazzle it of course!”
Vice President Kamala Harris was also represented with a young girl standing in front of an inflatable coconut tree as Beyoncé’s “Freedom,” the song adopted by the Harris campaign as its anthem, played in the background.
Other kids dressed as 2024 Paris Olympics notables, as well as animals from Thailand and Australia that went viral on social media this year.
