Donning a bright yellow coat, briefcase and clip-on earrings, the boy took to the streets of New York to campaign for his presidential favourite – and trick or treat, obviously.

“Our eight-year-old son is with you Hillary Clinton today and everyday,” his mothers posted on Twitter.

However, not everybody appreciated the young Democrat’s obvious style.

Trust the homophobic Twitter troll brigade to pick on an 8-year-old child. On Halloween.
