A man is handing out Halloween treats when he hears a small knock at the door. Opening it, he finds a child dressed as a thief. “Here you go, two pieces of candy! Take it and go!” The man laughs.
Moments later, another knock at the door. Opening it, the homeowner finds a child dressed as a clown. “Hmm.” The man looks the kid up and down. “Not funny, but here’s one piece of candy for trying.”
A short time passes, and another knock. He finds a child dressed as Donald Trump. The man SLAMS the door in the child’s face without so much as a word.
Not even five seconds have passed when there’s a series of loud, angry knocks on the door. This time, there’s an angry adult on the other side.
“I was walking my own son through the neighborhood and saw you slam the door on that poor little boy! Just because of how he was dressed? Buddy, you and I have a problem.”
“Listen,” the homeowner replied, “He’s been here three times, and didn’t even change the costume.”
Explanation: The joke’s humor comes from the reveal that the thief, clown, and Trump were all the same kid wearing a Trump costume the whole time. The homeowner wasn’t being political, he was just annoyed that the child kept returning for more candy while pretending to be different characters, making the situation absurdly funny.
