Trump Reveals New Hat That Shows Where He Stands On Recount Efforts
... traded in his trademark "Make America Great Again" cap ...
On Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump not-so-subtly reminded everyone of his looming inauguration as 45th president of the United States, unveiling a new baseball cap on his way back from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
The real estate mogul traded in his trademark “Make America Great Again” cap while keeping the signature and eye-catching red. The new hat had “45” on the side and the front was emblazoned “USA” in white stitching.
Trump popularized the MAGA cap early in his campaign, and it was widely embraced by his supporters, who have often sported the cap in force at his rallies. They also proved an impressive financial boon to his campaign.

The hats usually sell for $25 to $30 on his website, and are available in a variety of colors.
While remarkably popular with Trump’s supporters, the hats have drawn their share of criticism.
In October, The Washington Post reported that Trump’s campaign spent more on said hats than on polling, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

The Associated Press also explored claims that some of the hats were not made in the United States.
Trump proudly proclaimed his hats to be “Made in the USA” as part of his campaign’s focus on bolstering American-made products.
His campaign responded to social media posts alleging that his hats were made in China, pointing out that unofficial knock-offs of Trump hats, made in China and not endorsed by Trump’s campaign, were also widely available.
It is not yet clear if Trump’s new “45” cap is exclusive to him or if it will be made available for general sale. In either case, the hat seems a silent response to those calling for a recount, including Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

Trump has also issued a flurry of tweets responding to the controversy, alleging that he would have won the popular vote if it was adjusted to remove votes from illegal immigrants.
His claim, immediately contested by pundits, stemmed from estimates by Gregg Phillips of VoteStand that at least 3 million illegal immigrants cast ballots.
The president-elect also took advantage of an opportunity to turn former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s words against her.
During her campaign, Clinton famously criticized Trump, saying that not accepting the results of the popular election would be a “threat to democracy.”
While Stein has managed to raise $5 million in an effort to elicit a recount, Trump’s newest hat makes his stance on the issue quite clear.
