A company which specialises in making Halloween masks in Mexico is selling out of one particular model: Donald Trump.

The video above shows the making of the latex mask which is garnished with a straw-like tuft replicating Mr Trump’s hair.

The initial production volume was only 250 units, however, the idea proved so popular that it is now due to be distributed across the country and in over 100 stores worldwide.

Mr Trump has become a figure of controvery in Mexico after making inflammatory remarks declaring that Latin American immigrants were “rapists” responsible for “bringing drugs and crime” into the United States.

Maria del Carmen Navarro, a Group Rev design engineer, told AFP that “there's a little bit of criticism, but we are Mexicans and we find laughter in tragedy”.

Mr Trump’s mask can already be bought online for $29.90. Its product description plays on Mr Trump's statement: 'Illegals be afraid!'

Group Rev has previously made masks of ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, the drug baron who managed to escape from prison for the second time last July.
