What does Donald Trump have against T-rex — more specifically, kids in dinosaur costumes?
Seth Meyers on “Late Night” noted how the president seemed to ignore a costumed child going through a White House candy line at a Halloween event.
“The president entered the festivities to the theme music from ‘Ghostbusters’ and proceeded to hand out candy to kids dressed in costumes,” HuffPost noted.
Said Meyers: “That’s right. Trump ain’t afraid of no ghosts.”
But Meyers heaped heavier scorn on Trump for shinning a Tyrannosaurus rex trick-or-treater.
“Maybe Trump just thought he was hallucinating,” Meyers said. “Oh no, it’s happening again. Play it cool, Donny. Only you see the dinosaur.”

I’m dying at this. Melania Trump saw the t-rex and it’s the first time I’ve seen her show any real emotion. #Halloween pic.twitter.com/5v6uLCdj6j
