It’s a moment Donald Trump had long dreamed of – people in Denmark and Greenland wearing shiny red hats.
However the US president’s ‘Make America Great Again’ motto isn’t printed on them with pride. As an alternative, they read: ‘Make America Go Away.’
On the front, the spoof MAGA hats say, ‘Nu det NUUK’, Danish for ‘Enough is enough’ and a pun of Greenland’s capital Nuuk.
One in 10 Greenlanders protested against the White House’s aggressive try to seize their island home over the weekend.
Trump had earlier amped up his campaign by threatening tariffs on allies of NATO – a defence alliance of which the US, Greenland and Denmark are members.
On the news, Greenland resident Malik Dollerup-Scheibel, 21, said: ‘I assumed at the present time couldn’t get any worse, nevertheless it just did.

‘It just shows he has no remorse for any type of human being now.’
A minimum of 10,000 Danes also gathered in Copenhagen, chanting ‘Greenland just isn’t on the market’ and holding ‘Hands off Greenland’ placards.
Among the many protesters was Flemming Almind, who told NBC News: ‘I’ve actually never done this before, demonstrating, but this could be very essential to me.’
Protester Susanne Kristensen said Denmark must support the island nation.
‘We’re Danes, Greenland are Danes, although they’re Greenlanders, and we just need to stick together,’ she added.
Trump has for years set his sights on the independently run Danish territory, in what he says is within the name of national security.
Greenlandic artist Aannguaq Reimer-Johansen designed the anti-MAGA hats earlier this yr.
He asked his American followers to ‘help’ his country in a Facebook post this month, writing: ‘Greenland just isn’t land to be bought. We, the people, aren’t something to buy.
‘Not territory to be taken. Not something to be decided over our heads. It’s home.’
Greenland is home to 56,000 people, mostly the Inuit individuals who learnt to survive on the slab of ice poking into the Arctic Circle centuries ago.
Reimer-Johansen said his people don’t want to turn out to be a part of the US, something that even 74% of Americans don’t support, CNN found.
He added: ‘We’re people. Not property.’
