‘Make America Go Away’: Greenlanders and Danes spread new caps mocking Trump online

A subversive symbol of Greenlanders’ political opposition to US President Donald Trump has appeared online: red caps with the words ‘Make America Go Away’, Euronews writes.

If you think the red caps popping up across Greenland and Denmark look surprisingly familiar — you’d be right.

The hats, embossed with the words “Make America Go Away”, are designed to parody the MAGA movement spearheaded by US President Donald Trump, also known as the “Make America Great Again” campaign.

The caps, originally created by Copenhagen vintage clothing store owner Jesper Rabe Tonnesen, flopped last year following their launch. Now that US-EU tensions have notched up, the design is seeing a fresh wave of interest.

“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, 58.

The original cap designed by Tonnesen featured a play on words: “Nu det NUUK!” — a twist on the Danish phrase “Nu det nok”. That means “Now it’s enough”, substituting Nuuk, Greenland’s capital.
