He has also been a piñata. And now, he is [a Halloween mask](http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/take-a-look-at-these-horrifying-donald-trump-halloween-masks#.ps8qD1kqB). Grupo Rev, a maker of Halloween attire, has added the billionaire real estate mogul-come-nativist presidential candidate to its roster of terrifying monsters, ghouls and witches, AFP reports. The company has turned the controversy-stirring Donald Trump into latex masks for sale to celebrate Halloween. About 250 Trump masks have been made so far, but the company hasn’t yet set a price. Trump has achieved notoriety in Mexico, a country he has blamed for “sending” criminals to the United States and whose inhabitants he has called rapists and drug dealers. He has already been made into a piñata, which children then conveniently smack around until the piñatas break. “There’s a little bit of criticism but we are Mexicans and we find laughter in tragedy,” Maria del Carmen Navarro, a Grupo Rev design engineer, told AFP. \[[AFP](http://news.yahoo.com/company-plots-halloween-killing-trump-el-chapo-masks-232351679.html)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4078604/donald-trump-halloween-mask-mexico/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4078604/donald-trump-halloween-mask-mexico/"},"headline":"This Donald Trump Halloween Mask Is Poised to Terrify Mexico","datePublished":"2015-10-19T18:57:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:47:00.018Z","description":"Limited run of 250 latex masks available","url":"https://time.com/4078604/donald-trump-halloween-mask-mexico/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5487a976335d4cb7/698868e3cf40a8a21dc4042f/trump-masks.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5487a976335d4cb7/698868e3cf40a8a21dc4042f/trump-masks.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Masks representing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump are pictured in a factory of costumes and masks, on Oct. 16, 2015, in Jiutepec, Morelos State.","caption":"Masks representing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump are pictured in a factory of costumes and masks, on Oct. 16, 2015, in Jiutepec, Morelos State.","creditText":"Ronaldo Schemidt—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4078604/donald-trump-halloween-mask-mexico/","name":"This Donald Trump Halloween Mask Is Poised to Terrify Mexico"}}]}] ```
