‘Make America Go Away’ Caps Sell Out as Denmark and Greenland Push Back on Trump’s Greenland Bid

European leaders now frame the Greenland dispute as an Arctic security test.

Overview

  • Red caps spoofing Trump’s MAGA hats have become a visible protest symbol online and at rallies, including a freezing weekend demonstration outside Copenhagen city hall.
  • Copenhagen shop owner Jesper Rabe Tonnesen said a slow 2024 trickle turned into a sell‑out in a single weekend, prompting orders for several thousand more hats.
  • Greenland’s prime minister, Jens‑Frederik Nielsen, declared “We will not be pressured,” asserting the island’s democratic right to make its own decisions.
  • European governments have closed ranks behind Denmark and Greenland, warning that Trump’s rhetoric threatens Western security and destabilizes the Arctic.
  • Other Danish makers and retailers have joined the effort, with versions also reading “Not for sale!” appearing at protests and across online marketplaces.
