"COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - Red baseball caps spoofing Donald Trump's iconic MAGA hats have become a symbol of Danish and Greenlandic defiance against the U.S. 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 the Danish capital."
""When a delegation from America went up to Greenland, we started to realize this probably wasn't a joke - it's not reality TV, it's actually reality," said Tonnesen, 58. "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?" Demand suddenly surged from a trickle to selling out in the space of one weekend. Tonnesen said he has now ordered "several thousand.""
Red baseball caps reading "Make America Go Away" parody Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan and have become a symbol of Danish and Greenlandic opposition to the U.S. president's threat to seize Greenland. The caps and several social-media variants spread rapidly and appeared at public protests, including a freezing Copenhagen demonstration. Copenhagen vintage shop owner Jesper Rabe Tonnesen designed the mock hats and shifted to mass production after U.S. rhetoric escalated, ordering several thousand after a weekend sellout. European governments expressed support for Denmark, citing Arctic security, while protesters waved Danish and Greenlandic flags and carried handmade signs.
