Eugenio Derbez’s Optical-Illusion Halloween Costume Parodies President Trump

Mexican outlets say the gag echoes his earlier opposition to immigration crackdowns in the United States.

Overview

  • On October 31, Derbez posted Instagram photos and videos of a costume that made it appear President Donald Trump was carrying him.
  • The clips went viral with thousands of views, drawing enthusiastic praise for the creativity and satire as well as some barbed comments about his U.S. visa and defenses of Trump.
  • Excélsior and El Imparcial contextualized the stunt as political humor consistent with Derbez’s public criticism of Trump-era immigration policies.
  • In 2025 he denounced ICE raids in Los Angeles and wrote, “No somos criminales. Somos seres humanos,” reinforcing his advocacy for Latino migrants.
  • While trick-or-treating with his daughter, he joked about men picking ridiculous outfits and women favoring polished looks, adding a light cultural aside to the post.
