A jack-o’-lantern in a Cole Harbour, N.S. neighbourhood has some people laughing and others a little scared.

A Donald Trump pumpkin – also known as a “Trumpkin” – has been a trend picking up across North America, with many enthusiasts carving the face of the Republican presidential nominee.

John Jopp decided to carve the gourd for fun and says people seem to be getting a chuckle out of its big mouth and angry eyes.

“I just thought, there's nothing else I could do which would get a laugh out of people in this neighbourhood, so that's what I did."

As for the axe, Jopp says it shows trump's “split personality.” He's now thinking about adding Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, to the table.
