Donald Trump reveals new cap with five-word message as alternative to MAGA

It's been a little over a month since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States following his official inauguration at the start of the year (20 January).

The 78-year-old Republican leader has long sported his signature 'Make America Great Again' - or MAGA for short - hats but he's now introduced a brand-new cap with a far from humble five-word message plastered across it.

Trump showed off the new piece of merch to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday (25 February). Take a look:

The caps in question are bright red with bold, white capital lettering which reads out: "TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING."

A video posted by the official White House Instagram account sees Trump telling someone off-camera to 'give me all of them' before telling press while holding up the cap with a smirk: "Look, see that? Trump was right about everything."

He continued: "This was sent in by a fan. I said, 'I think we should make some of them'."

Trump then started trying to hand them out to reporters, asking: "Would anybody like one?"

The White House captioned the clip: "President Trump Hands Out 'TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING' Hats in the Oval Office."

After seeing the video, people rushed to the comments to share their thoughts, with one Instagram user writing: "Your level of narcissism will create new chapters in the DSM."

"This is narcissism to the next level bruh," echoed a second, while a third slammed: "What a joke of an administration."

A fourth chimed in: "Ermmmm not sure about that... I mean Emmanuel Macron literally had to correct him."

"One example of not being right is just recently when France’s Macron fact-checks Trump in real time on claim about Ukraine," pointed out another, while a final Instagram user added: "This is so cringe."

This isn't the first time one of the White House's official social media accounts has sparked major backlash online. Just last week (18 February), the official Twitter account for the White House posted a 'sickening' 'ASMR' video, which has since gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

ASMR, a nonclinical term which stands for' 'Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response', refers to a pleasant, tingling sensation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine that some people experience when watching and listening to videos with particular sounds.

Popular videos shared across platforms like Instagram and TikTok involve whispering, hair brushing, finger tapping, and chewing.

But the White House's video, which it described in the caption as 'ASMR', has been described as 'cruel', 'evil', and sick'.

The account captioned the clip: "ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight," and it shows immigrants in shackles as they prepare to board a deportation flight from Seattle.

At one point in the video, which is 41 seconds long, a set of handcuffs and chains can be seen jingling as they are pulled from a basket, before being laid out on the airport tarmac next to four other sets of restraints.

Another shot shows a man with his hands cuffed in front of him with his ankles bound by a chain as he walks past an officer.

And a third shot sees a man having his handcuffs linked together before the camera pans to a man’s feet in chains as he walks up a stairway to a plane.
