An Ohio woman is trying to "make pumpkins great again" with a Donald Trump pumpkin.
The artist recently transformed the massive pumpkin into a replica of Trump's head, and she's calling it a "Trumpkin."
Jeanette Paras, of Dublin, Ohio, is known for creating political and celebrity-themed pumpkins in an artistic process she calls "pumpkinizing.
I pumpkinize whoever is visible in the national media, Paras told USA TODAY Network. Characters with distinguishing characteristics make it even more fun.
Paras has been "pumpkinizing" since 1988. Her past projects include pumpkins in the likeness of Kim Jong-un, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Tom Cruise and Prince Harry.
This year, her canvas was a 374-pound pumpkin she nicknamed "Trumpkin." She painted a likeness of Trump's face on the pumpkin and used 38-inch blonde wigs to create his signature hairstyle. In an Oct. 26 Facebook post, Paras introduced "Trumpkin" to the world.
