Jireh Johnson, 18, captured the video of his cousin, Nijel Murray, who is 13. They live in Las Vegas.

"I expected it to go big, but not this big and not this fast," Johnson told BuzzFeed News Friday.

"I was enthused [by the costume] but not surprised because every Halloween he always surprises us with something out of the ordinary," Johnson said.

People Are "Embarrassed" To Live In New York's Trump Place Buildings

“There was a cachet to it, but I think that’s gone.”

Residents of Trump Place, a marble-coated community of high-rise apartments on Manhattan's reliably liberal Upper West Side, told BuzzFeed News they found it "embarrassing" they lived there — and some want the candidate's gold-plated name removed from the building's exterior.

The complex stretches alongside the Hudson River, and the Trump Organization's website describes it as the "crown jewel of the Upper West Side."

Donald Trump started developing the residential community in 1974, and construction began in 1994. It changed hands multiple times — it was controlled by investors in Hong Kong and China for a while — then went to the Carlyle Group and Extell Development Company. Finally it was purchased by real estate company Equity Residential in 2007.

Still, nearly a decade after the property changed hands, the words "Trump Place" emblazon the outside of the building. Equity would not explain the arrangement and the Trump campaign didn't respond to a request for comment.

"This is an Equity Residential building, owned and operated," an Equity Residential spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. "It’s been that way for 10 years, and there’s no real authority issue to Trump."

Julia Reinstein / BuzzFeed News

Gary, a renter for 13 years, said he takes "great pleasure in walking all over" an entrance mat bearing Trump's name.

Gary, a renter for 13 years, said he takes "great pleasure in walking all over" an entrance mat bearing Trump's name.

He also said that there have been "moves here and meetings with management to remove the name, but it's too legally entailed."

When the building changed owners in 2007, Gary said he asked Equity Residential why they kept the name.

"They said, 'Oh, we thought you all liked it in New York,'" he said. "The truth is, we never thought of him."

Resident Mallory Gibson said, "Uber drivers have commented on how it is the Trump building when dropping me off at night and then given me a bad rating while I was still in the car!"

Normally she forgets her home's namesake, she said, but whenever Trump is back in the news — like recently, when he implied in a 2005 recording he has sexually assaulted women and after some came forward and accused him of unwanted groping — "it reminds me and I get very embarrassed to be living there."

Others in the building have mentioned wanting Trump's name removed, she said — "or at least having our rent lowered since we have to deal with it!"

And Ilene Yoffe, a resident who was on her way to volunteer for Hillary Clinton's campaign, said if she "could go up and cover it with black paint, I would, but I don't want to get arrested."

"It's an embarrassment. He's an embarrassment," she said. "When he comes back to New York, he's not very welcome."

Julia Reinstein / BuzzFeed News

Robert Stern — along with nearly every resident interviewed — would not call the building "Trump Place."

Robert Stern — along with nearly every resident interviewed — would not call the building "Trump Place."

"It's not the Trump building, it's Equity Residential," he said. "He doesn't have any ownership."

Another resident said it's "annoying" that he "always has to defend it to friends."

"They'll say, it must be nice to pay your rent to Trump's political campaign, though it doesn't really go there," the unnamed resident said.

And a teacher at a school that rents from the building — she's a Bernie supporter who is now voting Clinton — said the 3-, 4-, 5-year-olds have "made a few comments about it, like ‘He’s a bad guy.'''

Julia Reinstein / BuzzFeed News

Of course, not everyone feels this way. One man, who declined to give his name, said he's a Republican who's voting for Trump and the building's name "doesn't bother me."

For the last three years, Sebastian has been selling lemonade for 20 cents a cup, trying to save up for his dream: a pony.

"Sebastian was selling cups of lemonade for 20 cents, but of course some people would give him $20, you know, donating to the cause," Sebastian's mother, Juliana, told BuzzFeed News.

"Whenever we had get-togethers at friends' houses he would go and set up his stand to sell lemonade ... He's saved up all of his money from Christmas and birthdays and the tooth fairy."

She added: "The first books he read were Saddle Club, and so he's always wanted a pony since."

land of buildings & no good manners land of sunless people & offspring of colonizers land of no spice & small pox land that killed my father & then sent back his body land where I can’t lay flowers land that will never be my home land of slaves & child workers land of prisons & taxes land that mispronounces my grief land that calls my eulogy exotic land that makes a graveyard of my other land that laughs when my people die & paints targets on my future children’s faces land that steals & says own land that says mine first land that burns & says go back land of no roots land that poisoned my mother & devoured her body land that calls me foreign land that makes my other language foreign on my tongue land that calls my women backwards & calls itself savior land that flattens cities & says homeland security land that built the first bomb & the last land that killed my father land that made me orphan of thee I sing.

These Moms Are Angry That Old Navy And Gap Call Kids "Husky" And "Plus" Size

Callie Gorgol

Gorgol, a 26-year-old mom who lives in Frederick, Maryland, typically shops in bulk at Old Navy for her six-year-old daughter and two-year-old son in the fall and the summer without any problem.

As she slid her cursor from the toddler to the girls section on the site, she noticed that two categories dropped down — slim and plus.

As she slid her cursor from the toddler to the girls section on the site, she noticed that two categories dropped down — slim and plus.

Old Navy / Via oldnavy.gap.com

She clicked on "plus" out of curiosity to discover that Old Navy considers girls' pants over size 8 to be "plus" size while boys are considered "husky" if they are over a size 10.

Gorgol, who also has a niece who is overweight due to medication she must take, was livid. She said it is "ridiculous" and unacceptable that "anyone would think it's ok to put 'plus' and 'husky' names to kids' clothing."

"I would never want them to think, 'Oh well, since I have to go in the plus section, I must be bigger I must be different than someone who is not shopping in plus,'" she said. "I want my children to grow up thinking they love their body. Everybody's body is different. That’s the way its supposed to be."

Gap Inc., which owns the Old Navy brand, did not respond to a request for comment.

There's plenty of debtate among plus-size models, and other critics of "plus size" like Amy Schumer, about whether the term is appropriate to describe adult bodies. But very little of the conversation has centered around the use of these labels for children.

@alessandragl / Via instagram.com

"Children who are overweight or obese are more vulnerable to body image and body esteem issues as well as psychological concerns," Vinita Menon, clinical psychologist and psychology instructor at Northern Illinois University, told BuzzFeed News. "Labeling of clothing that may be perceived as judgmental or pejorative has the potential to contribute to these concerns. The long-term focus should be multi-faceted — a focus on health and well-being along with supportive emotional coping strategies."

A recent study published in the Journal of Eating & Weight Disorders was the latest research to highlight the fragility of children's mental health when it comes to early discussions about weight and size.

The study, which surveyed over 500 young women, found that even well-intended comments from parents about their daughter’s weight may lead to a negative body image and unhealthy dieting behaviors in the long-term.

Egypt "Ify" Ufele, an 11-year-old fashion designer and anti-bullying activist, told BuzzFeed News she started ChubiiLine in 2015 after being bullied over her weight "to help other children to feel better about themselves."

Instagram: @bullychasers

She prefers to describe herself as a "curvy girl" and believes that "plus size" is not harmful to use in children's clothing.

"It doesn’t really bother me," said Ufele, whose line carries sizes 2T through 20. "'Curvy' is when you're comfortable with yourself. When people say you’re more chubbier than average then that’s what makes you feel uncomfortable about yourself."

Ufele said she accepted her weight after her doctors advised her that her asthma medication, which contains steroids, would lead to weight gain.

She had a hard time finding clothes so she began making her own. She believes that a "plus size" section for kids would broaden options for kids who wear larger sizes.

"It can make them feel bad about themselves because then we have a small section for them," she added. "But it can also make them feel good at the same time because then we have clothes other kids don't have."

Instagram: @mythriftedcloset

"For children to have to lead a movement to fight weight stigma is a tough battle for them to take on," said Bryn Austin, a professor of social and behavioral science at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. "I would rather just not expose them to that stigma and for them to be treated fairly and all children to know they're loved and valued at any size."

The reason that people are reclaiming the plus size label is to take back power and control over a name that has been used to denote a lower status in the social hierarchy, she said.

"What would be better is if we didn’t employ these methods of discrimination and shaming that create higher and lower statuses in community," she told BuzzFeed News. "How about we just have children be treated equal?"

Rasika Boice, a 34-year-old mother of an 11-month old girl in Jersey City, New Jersey, told BuzzFeed News that she thinks that this is "too young to be labeling kids plus size and can be potentially harmful."

Boice was also shocked to see that Old Navy categorized girls' clothing in "slim" and "plus" size while browsing through their site over the summer.

"In essence you’re saying girls who are plus and slim are irregular which just didn't seem right and seemed to have a lot of potential to hurt someone's self-esteem," she said. "When you’re a kid and being targeted as different, it could be scary."

She suggested kids sizes be labeled by number, rather than "plus" or "slim," because it's not as subjective.

"I don't think plus is a bad word," she said. "I don't think it’s the best term. We can do better than that term. I think it’s great that women are taking that term and embracing it and defining it for themselves and showcasing that beauty can come in many different shapes and sizes, but I still think it should be called something different."

"When you have children and they grow up and they see these celebrities, they‘re put in their mind they should look like Kim Kardashian or they should look like America’s next top model," she said. "They are so beaten up about what their bodies should look like. I think that’s just another additive to all the other things that are going on as far as body image as children."
