From flags to baby clothes to masks, there's tons of merchandise available to indicate one's support for former President Donald Trump, but none of those have surpassed his infamous red "Make America Great Again" Caps.
Since the 2016 campaign, these caps have become synonymous with adoration for Trump. Virtually any Trump-centric event—be it a campaign rally or a deadly failed insurrection—is instantly recognizable thanks to the inevitable sea of red caps.
Now, amid the barrage of deceptive and judgmental fundraising emails, Trump is hawking a $40 MAGA hat that he claims to have personally designed.
The former president sent a fundraising email to his supporters encouraging them to buy a new special edition $40 MAGA hat that he "personally designed." Photoshop Versace explained, "You see, what I did was I took a red hat and wrote MAGA on it."pic.twitter.com/t1nNE6VNIy— Jarrett Bellini (@Jarrett Bellini) 1628468410
Instead of the typical "Make America Great Again" slogan emblazoned in plain white text, the red cap features the all-too-familiar MAGA acronym in all-caps with gold trim.
The manic fundraising email read:
"[J]ust designed our BRAND NEW MAGA Hat...You've always been one of my most LOYAL supporters, so I don't want you to have just ANY hat…I want YOU to have the MAGA Hat that I personally HAND-SIGNED for YOU."
Reviews were...less than great.
It's got that ketchup and mustard McDonald's thing going on.\nReally ugly... Which fits.\nStill made in China I'm guessing?\n$40 it's probably about a 300-400% markup. \nThe new grift. Don't forget to buy the Nazi card.— Treason Turtle (@Treason Turtle) 1628554737
Uglier than the last made in China iteration, surprise!— angry florida woman (@angry florida woman) 1628551283

That is the ugliest hat I have ever seen.— Mary Hill (@Mary Hill) 1628604999
Others mocked the idea that Trump personally designed the hat.
That was a lot of thinking for him— Bigg Matt Weatherford (@Bigg Matt Weatherford) 1628468782

At least he spelled MAGA right.— Richard (@Richard) 1628468890
But the gold-lined hat has at least one silver lining, according to some social media users.
