We guess that's one way to celebrate Halloween.
On Wednesday night, presidential son Donald Trump Jr. tweeted a photo of daughter Chloe, dressed as a police officer, with her trick or treating haul.
"I’m going to take half of Chloe’s candy tonight & give it to some kid who sat at home," he said. "It’s never to (sic) early to teach her about socialism."

Chloe, 3, is the youngest of Trump Jr.'s five children.
His tweet led to tens of thousands of responses, with many questioning his definition of socialism:
That's not how socialism works. You might want to have someone explain it to you before you try to teach it to a kid.

My man, "socialism" was her getting that free candy in the first place. You taking half for reasons she can't understand is capitalism https://t.co/w9x9zB0xLA

And pointing out the concept of sharing:
And reminding that trick or treating generally means someone is giving away candy for free:
You mean the candy that she got for free out of the goodness of strangers' hearts? πππ
