A video has been posted to X of a man walking through Manhattan, New York wearing a MAGA hat. The reactions are hilarious.To America's political left, the caps are a symbol of President–Elect Donald Trump's fascism — reflecting extreme policies like border protection, affordable food and housing, ending the Ukraine war, energy security, scaling back bureaucracy, and economic revitalization.To U.S. conservatives, MAGA hats are an assertion American exceptionalism and the need for change in Washington D.C. As the video indicates, they are a great way to offend some New Yorkers.."You'd think a city like NYC could never be a bubble for anything, but these people look like they've never seen a Trump supporter in real life before," said one X user.Another individual responded, "Imagine being so brainwashed that a slogan about making your country great triggers you."Despite reactions from people in Manhattan to the MAGA hat, the Daily Mail reported Trump has never been more popular in the left wing enclave."Eight years ago, there wasn't a soul brave enough to wear a MAGA hat through the streets of Manhattan, where liberals openly sobbed after Trump's shock election win," wrote the Mail."But I was stunned by the first responses — a man in his 20's immediately smiled, raised his fist and mimicked Trump's iconic reaction to his assassination attempt in July," said a Mail reporter who embarked on a mission of wearing a MAGA hat in New York's Washington Square Park. "And while many of the city's liberals and NYU's student cohort gave me death–stares, a surprising number of those in the park — almost all men — smiled, complimented or seemed thrilled to see the red hat."
