Spoof "Make America Go Away" hats, parodying Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, have surged in popularity in Denmark and Greenland following the US president's interest in acquiring the territory. The hats, created by Copenhagen store owner Jesper Rabe Tonnesen, express opposition to the potential US acquisition. Originally created in 2024, demand increased dramatically after the Trump administration's escalated rhetoric regarding Greenland. The hats have become a symbol of Danish and Greenlandic defiance, appearing at protests in Copenhagen where demonstrators expressed support for Greenland and criticized US claims. European governments are also supporting Denmark and Greenland, emphasizing the importance of defending Arctic regions and warning against undermining western security.
