The Internet has fiercely ridiculed a MAGA fashion show that featured a number of Donald Trump-inspired garments.
About 200 supporters of the former president gathered at America First Warehouse on Long Island on Tuesday to watch a group of budding designers showcase their pro-Trump fashion pieces.
A dress painted to look like an American flag with the politician’s face on it, a dress with his name written in diamonds and a rhinestone-encrusted MAGA cap were just some of the items on display on the runway.
But when images from the parade were shared online, people on social media didn’t have the best things to say about it.
X and Instagram were quickly flooded with posts from liberals criticizing the fashion show, with one person calling it “tasteless” and another calling it “embarrassing.”
