Many don’t know this, but the association of “Make America Great Again” with Donald Trump goes back as early as January 1, 2012. That was when some Trump supporters filed paperwork in Texas to create the “Make America Great Again Party” with hopes that he would run as a third-party candidate in the presidential election of 2012. Well, Trump didn’t run for President that year, but after the election he started using the slogan regularly both online and in person. He even got the slogan trademarked, although apparently not exclusively on merchandise. After noticing that he failed to do this, Bobby Bones, a well known radio and TV personality and Dancing with the Stars winner, bought the rights to sell the slogan on apparel. He sold all “Make America Great Again” apparel through his own company and gave all the profits to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He also called out Trump publicly, saying he’d give up the exclusive rights to the merchandise if Trump donated $100,000 to St. Jude. Apparently, Trump actually did this, and on November 11th, 2015, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office made the transfer official. By that time, Trump had been campaigning for President for several months and was using the slogan more and more.

And soon, the Make America Great Again red hat, or MAGA hat, became the quickest and most iconic way to show the world that you not only supported his campaign, but you fully supported him.
