The entrance to the White House was covered in pumpkins, ivy and a giant faux moon for the occasion, while a military made a Halloween classic.
Meanwhile, Trump stopped to record a low flyby of his Qatari Air Force One jet.
After about an hour, and after Trump lightly performed a performance of the “Ghostbusters” theme song, the couple returned inside.
