Last minute decisions? Torn between ideologies? It doesn’t take much to make a Donald Trump costume for those who pine to impersonate the billionaire Republican front runner on Halloween. Ditto for his Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

From Wholesale Halloween Costumes come the instructions for Mr. Trump: Red tie, white shirt, navy blazer, American flag pin, red baseball cap with press-on letters to spell “Make America Great Again,” a short frowsy blonde wig, a fake microphone and “lots of attitude,” the company tutorial advises.

A Hillary Clinton costume is just as easy: Blonde wig, women’s pantsuit with white dress shirt, black framed glasses and yes, an American flag pin.



A Bernie Sanders costume is just a tweak away: Blue tie, Navy blazer, white button-down shirt, wire rim glasses and the all-important white frowsy wig. No pin.

“This Bernie look is as easy as getting dressed,” another tutorial advises

“With so much attention and controversy surrounding both major parties, you’d have to order a recount to make sure you covered all of the opportunities for potential costumes,” the company notes.
