Trump Campaign Wants to 'Make Mexico Great Again Also'

Just hours after Donald Trump met with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto in Mexico City on Wednesday, his campaign touted a new hat proclaiming: “Make Mexico Great Again Also.”

The stylish headwear was modeled by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani when he spoke before Donald Trump’s immigration address in Phoenix, Arizona, Vox reported.

Similar in style and message to Trump’s infamous “Make America Great Again” hat, this one comes in bright white — and set Twitter on fire.

Many users saw it as evidence that Trump’s entire presidential campaign was a bad joke, while others criticized his grammar.

“It should be illegal to end a sentence with “also.” (Unless it is the preceding sentence),” one user pointed out.

According to Vox, Sen. Jeff Sessions also wore the offending hat, and national correspondent for Business Week Joshua Green tweeted that a campaign official said Trump came up with the awkward slogan himself.
