The visit by Vice President JD Vance and his delegation to a U.S. military base in Greenland highlighted tensions over U.S. influence in foreign territories. Aannguaq Reimer-Johansen’s Facebook post featuring a parody MAGA hat, which reads 'Make America Go Away,' sparked widespread interest and laughter on social media platforms, affirming its effectiveness as a political statement. This instance is reminiscent of Canadian protests against perceived U.S. expansionism, further underlining how political symbols can transcend boundaries and gain international significance as tools of opposition.
The very success of the MAGA hat as a symbol of political allegiance has also made it an effective weapon of the opposition, at least internationally.
Tina Brown compared it to the French Resistance on ice, thus connecting the red cap to the bonnets rouges of the French Revolution.
The hats ended up on The Daily Show and The View. Across social media, the general reaction was I want one.
In response to President Trump's threats to make Canada the 51st state, Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, wore a trucker hat that looked like a dark MAGA hat.
