Australians might have a secret love affair with Donald Trump, and the scary proof has been uncovered.
Sales of Donald Trump Halloween masks are through the roof, and while he is not expected to beat rival Hillary Clinton in the November 8 presidential election, this is one competition he is a clear winner.
Masks of the outlandish presidential candidate are flying off Australian shelves, with retailers admitting they had underestimated the demand.
"I never realised how many people followed him — I am really surprised," Tomfoolery spokeswoman Yvonne Fragiacomo told the ABC.
It is understood costumes.com.au has also sold out its entire warehouse of Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump masks, with the brash billionaire outselling his female rival three to one.
"We have been restocking when we can, but we suspect the volume of sales has perhaps even surprised the whole market as we haven't been able to get consistent stock," company co-founder Nathan Huppatz told the ABC.
Many retailers are now flying over fresh stock from the US to appease buyer demand, before October 31.
