It’s almost Halloween, which means Americans are about to be reminded what makes our country so great.
First, it’s the greatest season for sports. Football’s back, baseball heats up, and the NBA season is almost here. There’s also a philanthropic feel to the air. Everyone buys candy in bulk and hands them out to trick or treaters to teach them the joy of binging early.
And the costumes, arguably the best part of Halloween. There’s always one that insults somebody and causes national outrage. There are enough of cats and mice prancing around college campuses to make it look like a barnyard. And there’s always one that marks the times. Last year, it was Ken Bone. I met about 6 when I was out last year.

And since I love Halloween, I’ve been trying since July to figure out what this year’s costume is going to be. I’ve written on it before. Last week, I was convinced that Sexy Fake News was gonna take the cake.
But this week, I think we’ve finally found a winner.
“Sexy Model Wife,” aka Melania Trump.

Some people say the costume is ruining their life, which is good because that means it knocks two categories out of the park: national outrage costume and costume of the year.
The costume resembles Melania’s inauguration day outfit with a revealing torso twist.
In a press release, costume retailer Yandy explains the look. “Inspired by a certain someone’s Inaugural ensemble by a Polo-playing design legend, this blue (Tiffany anyone?) sexy take would make you welcome at any house regardless of the color from Milan to Washington.’
Gosh, I love America.
