Description
A red baseball cap with 'Make America Great Again' stitched on it in white thread. There is a wristband attached to the cap.
These caps were used by Donald Trump in his 2016 Presidential campaign, and soon became a symbol for right wing and far-right wing campaigners, commentators and activists across the USA, and even in the UK. They were largely worn in the UK to spark debate and conflict with left-wing people, often being seen at protests. These examples were sold by Sumyer Fashion, and attached together as one purchase. The cap and wristband were both made in China.
