At the White House Halloween Party there was a kid wearing a russian military uniform with a modern russian tank forces patch featuring Armata tank.
This is a carefully crafted political message by someone in Trump’s inner circle.
This isn’t a coincidence.
1/3Troops wearing this patch are currently pillaging and raping Ukrainian children, while their supporters and enablers sends their kids to celebrate Halloween with the USA president.
2/3This wasn’t a mistaken camouflage. That is a specific patch.
It turns out that it was the White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security who dressed his children like russians for the White House Halloween reception, complete with a russian tank forces patch and a Soviet army cap for his son, and a sarafan and kokoshnik for his daughter.— Kristian Kiehling (@kristiankiehling.bsky.social) 2026-10-31T05:17:53.522Z

It is ordinary russians in these uniforms who are pillaging, raping and killing Ukrainians in the largest genocidal war of conquest since 1945. Forcing children to wear these uniforms is akin to forcing children to wear Nazi uniforms in 1945.

A boy and a girl dressed in Soviet military uniform and a traditional Russian costume were among the children greeted by US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump during a Halloween celebration at the White House.

Details: The traditional candy giveaway is hosted by the US president and the first lady ahead of Halloween.
Among the children lining up to receive treats from the Trumps at this year’s event was a little girl wearing a costume styled after a traditional Russian sarafan dress and a headband resembling a kokoshnik.
The boy was dressed in a military uniform with a cap similar to a Soviet military peaked cap featuring the USSR coat of arms.
According to the White House website, guests at the event included military families, law enforcement families, foster families, and families of government employees.
ETA: Adam Silverman at Balloon Juice:
“While I wouldn’t expect Trump to recognize the costume, Melania, given where she grew up and what her father is alleged to have done for the Slovenian equivalent of the KGB most certainly does.”
I think this NYTimes round table is worth a read on its own (public link), but my god, does Bret Stephens come across poorly. The man has nothing meaningful to contribute whatsoever.
