Two men, one brandishing a knife, robbed a New York City tourist of his red "Make America Great Again" hat, police said today.

The 18-year-old Danish victim, whose name was not disclosed, was about to enter the subway in Union Square Thursday at 5:40 p.m. when a man grabbed him from behind and swiped the red baseball-style cap from his head, police said.

There was a struggle over the hat when a second man flashed a knife and pointed it at the victim before the two made off with the hat, police said.

I'm trying to think of what the equivalent for an american would be. Going to the Philippines with a "Duterte's Done Nothing Wrong" hat?

Not that I condone the act of violence, but how could you be so stupid as a tourist to do that?

It's like the tourists who do the Nazi salutes in Germany, they get their asses beat.

If it's an 18 year old Danish kid, he may not have understood the significance of wearing that dogshit hat. Fuck those two dudes though, it's never that deep

Honestly, let's stop apologizing for people. He's probably some 4chan shitter who thought it would be a lark, at best.

Well serve them right for wearing that hat to rub it in on our New Yorkers faces.

In a plot twist it turns out the hat was a rarer version of the MAGA hat and the two suspects were Trump supporters that wanted it for their own vintage collection.

I mean, what did he expect?

Sounds like an 18 year old edgelord got his ass served trying to pull a stunt like that in NYC of all places.

This is an odd story.

Danish tourist walking around NYC wearing klan paraphernalia. <--- This combination of words has never happened before and is never going to happen again.
