Indiana Residents Put Up “Trumpkin” Halloween Decoration

Residents of Carmel, Indiana were suprised to see an…interesting figure pop up on Main Street.

Full disclosure: I live here.

Ooook. Judging by the expression on his face, and “tiny hands” I’m gonna go ahead and guess these people aren’t huge fans of our president.

According to the Indy Star:

A handful of cars slowed to a crawl Wednesday evening to take a look at what can only be described as a “Trumpkin” scarecrow in Carmel.

 

The life-size scarecrow, positioned in a yard facing Main Street, is made to look like President Donald Trump. The suited scarecrow includes some of the typical jabs at his appearance, including small doll hands and straw hair that vaguely reflects his signature style.

 

The homeowners weren’t there when IndyStar stopped by on Wednesday, but neighbors said it has been up for a day or two and has been getting some attention.

 

“Too much attention,” one neighbor said.

 

People are stopping to take selfies with the scarecrow, including Carmel resident Luis Alcaraz. He walked over from his house “just to take a picture,” he said.

 

“It’s very clever,” Alcaraz said. “I feel like it’s more like an expression of your freedom … making fun of something.”

 

He said it was surprising to see it along a relatively busy street.

 

A Carmel city official told Fox59 the Trumpkin hasn’t garnered any complaints, and that the homeowner is considering adding another scarecrow for Vice President Mike Pence.

 

One neighbor enjoyed it so much they left a six-pack of Pumpkin Ale on the doorstep with a thank-you note.

I decided to do a little investigating, as this is about a four minute drive from my place. Trumpkin is gone.

In its place….

I’ll give them points for creativity.

So what’s your take? All in good fun? Or going too far?
