For Halloween 2019, Kimberly Guilfoyle dressed up as a witch. The talk show host did a fair job of it, putting together an ensemble of a pointy black hat and a figure-hugging black dress complete with purple detailing. It seemed like an ordinary enough getup, considering that a witch’s costume was one of the most Googled Halloween costumes of 2019. However, Guilfoyle’s outfit was far from conventional. It came with a dose of subtext, meant to be read in conjunction with the hunting outfit her boyfriend, Donald Trump Jr., was wearing. Together, the duo represented a witch-hunt — something Republican supremo Donald Trump claimed he was being subjected to at the time.
Trump was at the center of a probe that investigated his alleged abuse of power to influence the U.S. elections via Ukraine, which led to an impeachment trial against him. “Witch-hunt” was a favorite term of the former president who used — or, as some would argue, overused — it to defend himself against the charges in public arenas. The rest of his family naturally followed suit, with his son and Guilfoyle making the most of Halloween for a hyper-realistic, too-literal interpretation of witch-hunt.
“With all the bullsh*t the Democrats are throwing out there we just couldn’t resist,” Trump Jr. wrote on Instagram, sharing pictures of himself in head-to-toe camouflage gear and a bow-and-arrow set, posing beside Guilfoyle. Trust the Trumps not to lose even a single opportunity to make a political statement!
