Because Donald Trump, that’s why.
Trump just held up a mask OF HIS OWN FACE at his rally, and the crowd went wild.

From Mashable’s coverage of one of the long campaign’s weirdest final moments:
At a rally in Florida today, Trump reportedly noticed a supporter wearing the creepy mask and decided to leave the stage to retrieve it for a talking point.
“Look at this mask. Look at this mask. Oh wow. Wow, that’s beautiful. Look at that. Looks just like me,” Trump said, stepping away from his podium to retrieve it.
“Nice head of hair, I’ll say that,” Trump added, before throwing his plastic face back into the crowd.
