"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.
European governments are rallying behind Denmark and Greenland, citing the need
to defend Arctic regions and warning that Trump’s threats against Greenland
undermine western security.
The hats were created by Copenhagen vintage clothing store owner Jesper Rabe
Tonnesen. Early batches flopped in 2024 – until the Trump administration
recently escalated its rhetoric over Greenland. Now they are popping up
everywhere.
“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?”
Demand suddenly surged from a trickle to selling out in the space of one
weekend. Tonnesen said he has now ordered “several thousand”."
