What Is MAGA?
Make America Great Again is shortened to MAGA. It gained widespread recognition as a representation of Donald Trump’s presidential campaigns. It has evolved from a campaign slogan to a representation of the US’s political and cultural divide. Supporters view the caps as a declaration of political identity, while critics view them as contentious.
