By now, just about everyone in America has heard the slogan "Make America Great Again," which was popularized by Donald Trump during his first run for president. The term has taken on a life of its own over the years and has even seen the slogan shortened to just MAGA, which is often used as a shorthand to describe Trump's most fervent supporters.
It has also seen some alterations over the years, including "Make America Healthy Again," a slogan popular with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his supporters.
However, the people of Greenland appear to have adopted yet another variation of the slogan after Trump has insisted that the country be taken over by America, and it's gaining in popularity across the globe.
Unfortunately for Americans, this means seeing hats emblazoned with the slogan "Make America Go Away." There are also hats popping up with other anti-American sentiments thanks to Trump's quest to take over the country, which means you may soon see one of these caps in a town near you.

Greenlanders were hats that say, "Make America Go Away."
Protesters have not been shy about their feelings after Donald Trump shared plans to "acquire" Greenland in the name of national security. According to Nexta TV, which shared photos of the protests on X, thousands of people took to the streets of Denmark to protest the plan.
The news agency says that some 20,000 demonstrators took to the streets in Copenhagen, where they chanted a variety of slogans, including "Hands off Greenland" and "Greenland belongs to Greenlanders."
People also donned special hats for the occasion, with some of them featuring the slogan "Make America Go Away" in the familiar red and white style of the MAGA hats, while others said "Kalaallit Nunaat," which is Greenland's name in the country's native tongue.
The protesters were a sea of red and white as they made their way to both City Hall and the U.S. Embassy. In Greenland, protests were held in Nuuk, which Nexta TV says is where the U.S. Consulate building is located.
Why is Greenland so important to Trump?
Trump's desire to take over the island isn't anything new. He mentioned his wishes during his first term, where the idea was ignored by the Danish government. However, in Trump's second term, he has grown more focused on taking ownership of the country, claiming that America needs to run the island in order to ensure the security of our nation and those of our allies.
That's because the spot is needed as part of Trump's plan to build a "Golden Dome" over the country.
The dome is supposed to serve as an anti-missile strategy, according to ABC News, and Greenland's position makes it important when it comes to protecting our skies from potential threats from China or Russia. However, Russian and Chinese officials seem confused by Trump's stance, and both have spoken out about the damage that these talking points can do.
And then, there's Trump's pride. In a letter sent to the Norwegian Prime Minister, Trump hinted at different motives.

According to The Hill, Trump said that not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize that he had been campaigning for had influenced his feelings about Greenland, an award that the Norwegian government later had to point out that they have no control over.
As Trump's rhetoric surrounding acquiring the country continues to intensify, it's clear that Greenlanders only want one thing, and that is for America and Trump to simply go away.
