Not just that, supporters of the President also have often been seen in rallies and protests wearing those hats. More than a political slogan, the bright red cap has been embraced by supporters as a badge of patriotism.<br \/>However, critics opposing the sentiment have launched another batch of <\/p>\n<p>MAGA hats<\/p>\n<p> and they are now gaining popularity worldwide.<\/p>\n<p data-pos=\"25\">\n<h2>The origin of the other MAGA hats:<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>During US Vice President JD Vance&#8217;s visit to a US air base in Greenland last week, Greenlanders staged some of the largest demonstrations ever seen in the island nation. While some anti-American protesters were seen holding \u2018Yankees Go Home\u2019 banners, others were wearing \u2018Make America Go Away\u2019 caps.<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"MAGA caps (2)\" msid=\"120009708\" width=\"600\" title placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid type=\"thumb\" class src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-120009708,width-600,resizemode-4\/maga-caps-2.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Aannguaq Reimer-Johansen, a Greenland native, shared the post a week before the Vances\u2019 arrival. He wrote, \u201cCitizens: Vance&#8217;s wife&#8217;s visit is a charm offensive. If you take a smiling selfie with them, you are sending a signal to the whole world that you love America and want to be part of it. Therefore, don&#8217;t show interest. We have already shown our position through a large demonstration. Let&#8217;s stand firm and stick together.\u201d In the post on Facebook, he also shared a parody MAGA hat, a red headgear with the words \u2018Make America Go Away\u2019 written on it. These parody hats are gaining popularity not just in Greenland but also in Canada. Residents in Nuuk also planted Greenlandic flags in the snow and a cardboard sign in English that said \u2018Our Land. Our Future\u2019.<\/p>\n<p data-pos=\"33\">\n<h2>The expansion of the other MAGA hats:<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>After the other MAGA hat gained a considerable amount of attention and popularity on the internet, now titled, \u2018<\/p>\n<p>Make America Go Away Hat<\/p>\n<p>, Maple Leaf Cap\u2019, one such parody headgear is being sold on Amazon Canada for around \u20b91,000 each. The description of the piece of clothing reads, \u201cBold Political Statement \u2013 Show your Canadian pride with this &#8216;Make America Go Away&#8217; hat featuring a maple leaf, perfect for anti-Trump supporters.\u201d Another version of the cap includes \u2018Canada Is Not For Sale\u2019 written on it.<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"MAGA caps (3)\" msid=\"120009719\" width=\"600\" title placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid type=\"thumb\" class src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-120009719,width-600,resizemode-4\/maga-caps-3.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>That hat set off a similar social media hoo-ha and thrust its creators, Liam Mooney and Emma Cochrane of Ottawa, Ontario, onto an unexpected career path. They have now created a brand called Canada Is Not For Sale and, Mooney said, have sold more than 40,000 of the hats, not only in Canada but &#8220;in almost every country in the world&#8221;.

This cuts through all the noise,&#8221; Ben-Ghiat of NYU believes that the merchandising of the anti-MAGA movement is just beginning. As imagery spreads across social media, according to her, &#8220;What someone invents in Greenland may be embraced in Canada, Mexico and America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>House OKs debt ceiling bill to avoid default<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/rss\/articles\/CBMi3wFBVV95cUxPX2pDcnlUeXY0MXdCMFRsSVJmNUNqckdWX1U0NEF3d3ZZcG16RjJNNXNuLUI4MmFrdU83U2pDX1dXQmF1bE1uN0dheU1mVzFTYkw0dk9yeVV6QkNyS2VDRm9RTUpWR3ZMY2ZZVC1wOEUyR0s2eEQ2NWVRblYtYjJjdW9pbEt1VnRULURadWRiQ0FXZmphWV9Ic2JjV3pkYVc5TTZKZ3h4YndnQTAtY0F2bU9RcDRXR0VISW85WHRZRE9DTVdxTlF3c21WUlJzWktIcTlFclVOYWd5ak1pVldZ0gHkAUFVX3lxTFBLdlBpV2czaUt0aTlXYlNwR1hGX2hwcDNNZTU4QXFuNjhfOXJkaS0wTWZoYmJqaTFWSk8zX2ZRUGxtM0ZPbm11WWVlbDNLUEZxQ1g2YXVPbEpJVjdXUmdTSlFvWFBQVThGLVJuN21JN1VGbFNaYTcyV1VpV2VQT3VUME1iUVlUaVdZc1JieklmTkp2RUNWZjhFRjUwUkpyS2cwdWlaWk9zVGkyRXg5c0MtbVlXTW1nVU94cE9EZWh5R2N5enZ5dGxBUGNENEs2THVwWkNYMzUxd2NfZnB0RHctUVQ4dQ?oc=5\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a new MAGA hat on the horizon!Although it isn\u2019t a rip-off of the original MAGA hat, it indeed is a 180-degree turn from that one!What does this MAGA stand for?
