Dn the Manhattan district, in the center of the “Big Apple”, tens of thousands of people participated in the Halloween parade, which was particularly political this year.
Some appeared with their faces hidden behind a mask bearing the image of Donald Trump. Others preferred a red wig and a red cap marked with the name of his movement “Make America Great Again”.
In the procession, dozens also wore cat costumes, an undisguised reference to the misogynistic expression used by Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, who in 2021 called childless women that they were “women purchase “.
Slogans like “Don’t go back” or “freedom of the body” appeared on the signs brandished by these New Yorkers.
Masks of all kinds
A stone’s throw from the parade, a vast costume and accessories store welcomed latecomers looking for a last-minute disguise.
“We have masks of Trump, Biden and Harris,” Joey Katz, 22, a student at Hunter College and employee of the store, showed AFP.
“The Trump masks, I couldn’t even give you a total number, but I sold five to ten a day. For Kamala’s masks, I sold one or two throughout the season,” he added.
The New York Young Republican Club, an organization of young Republicans, held its annual rooftop party, “MAGAWEEN,” on Saturday, again a reference to Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement.
