Ghouls and goons were out in force just days before the midterm elections.

Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago was filled with drag during his jungle-themed Halloween party Saturday night.

Photos and social media posts show the party, held just three days before midterm elections where voters consider affordability a key issue, was a camp affair, full of spandex and glitter, far removed from the price of gasoline.

There was also a king crab and caviar bar, with Golden Goat Caviar tagging Mar-a-Lago in a story showing a selection of their products and a “trick or treat” graphic.

Trump arrived at the party around 8 p.m., bringing the White House press pool with him.

The report, written by Katherine Doyle of the Washington Post, briefly describes the scene.

“The ballroom is decorated in a jungle theme, with guests circulating in costume and dining at tables with large green centerpieces. Pool spotted Lady Victoria Hervey dressed as a cheetah and a number of guests dressed in cheetah, leopard and tiger print tuxedos,” she observed.

Trump told reporters he only had about 10 minutes to get ready for the party and was dressed like him.

Other guests delved into the theme which saw the room bathed in dark green lights and filled with performers and guests dressed in elaborate or barely visible costumes.

People are waiting for Trump to arrive at his Halloween party.

The guests appeared to be a mix of Florida residents and visitors with Instagram bios who described themselves variously as professional singers, real estate agents, investors, models and self-proclaimed moguls.

Partygoers posted videos and photos of the garish get-together on their Instagram accounts.

Footage from one partygoer, identified as Pochi Feuillet on Instagram, showed performers dressed in full leotards depicting various animals, from leopards and tigers to zebras and snakes, surrounding a drummer with a headdress on stage.

Last year, Trump launched a The Great Gatsby theme party in the middle of a weeks-long government shutdown. The lavish party has drawn criticism for its ostentatious display of wealth at a time of severe national financial stress.

This year’s holiday comes as America prepares to vote in the midterms, as Trump’s popularity with the electorate has plummeted.

Part of that decline is largely attributed to the president’s seeming dismissive of the impact of tariffs, the rising cost of gasoline and diesel, and the continued rise in the cost of living that have left Americans feeling increasingly financially strained.

But the president seemed unconcerned that the party might be seen as distasteful, inviting the White House press corps into the ballroom and boasting of welcoming “wealthy members” to his private club — which reportedly costs at least $200,000 a year to join.
