US Edition'Make America Go Away' red caps become symbol of defiance in Greenland standoff
The red caps parody Trump’s MAGA hats and have sold thousands, symbolizing Danish and Greenlandic protest against U.S. attempts to acquire Greenland.
- This past week, a Copenhagen vintage store's parody red caps by Jesper Rabe Tonnesen became a symbol of Danish solidarity with Greenland at protests in Copenhagen and Nuuk.
- Amid talk of purchase and pressure, Danish and Greenlandic public opinion hardened as early cap batches flopped last year until the Trump administration recently escalated rhetoric over Greenland.
- The designs mix direct parodies and local wordplay, including `Nu det NUUK`, with slogans like `Make America Go Away`, `Already Great` and `Make America Smart Again`; Michael, co-owner, said only 100 were made at first before Tonnesen ordered several thousand.
- Tens of thousands took to the streets, many wearing the red parody caps, as European governments rallied behind Denmark and protester Kristian Boye said, `They are being threatened with having their country invaded. I think it's totally unacceptable.`
- With sales selling out in one weekend, the caps' reach moved beyond a novelty as Tonnesen said the US delegation visit made him realise this wasn't a joke and protesters voiced `We've just had enough`.
