"Red baseball caps spoofing Donald Trump's Maga hats have become a symbol of Danish and Greenlandic defiance against the US president's threat to seize the frozen territory. The caps reading Make America Go Away parodying Trump's Make America Great Again slogan have gained popularity, along with several variants on social media and at public protests, including a weekend demonstration held in freezing weather in Copenhagen."
"When a delegation from America went up to Greenland, we started to realise this probably wasn't a joke it's not reality TV, it's actually reality, said Tonnesen. So I said, OK, what can I do?' Can I communicate in a funny way with a good message and unite the Danes to show that Danish people support the people of Greenland?"
Red "Make America Go Away" caps have emerged as a symbol of Danish and Greenlandic resistance to a US threat to seize Greenland. The caps parody the Make America Great Again slogan and have appeared across social media and at public protests, including a freezing rally in Copenhagen. European governments have expressed support for Denmark and Greenland, citing Arctic defense and western security concerns. Jesper Rabe Tonnesen, a Copenhagen vintage-store owner, created the caps; early batches initially flopped, then demand surged after escalated US rhetoric, prompting orders of several thousand. Protest signs included messages such as "No Means No" and "Make America Smart Again."
