Avideo of an alleged Amazon worker reportedly refusing to mail out former President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) hats has made its way across social media on Friday, sparking an investigation.
On Friday, in a post on X, formerly Twitter, user I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) shared a video of the alleged Amazon employee discussing how if someone orders a MAGA hat, she seemingly won’t be delivering them as she states, “You won’t be getting it on my…watch” while throwing the hat back in a box.
“Here is an Amazon employee who openly admits on camera that customers who ordered MAGA hats won’t receive their shipments ‘on her watch’ due to her TDS [Trump Derangement Syndrome]. I wonder if @amazon is aware that their employees are not processing orders based on their political beliefs?” I Meme Therefore I Am wrote.

“This behavior is unacceptable. We’re currently investigating, and once we get more information, we’ll take appropriate action,” the company’s spokesperson added.
According to Amazon’s website, consumers can purchase MAGA hats from several different companies as most are available to be shipped through Amazon Prime’s policy.
In response to the video, in an emailed statement to Newsweek on Saturday, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung wrote “Trump Derangement Syndrome”—a term often used to criticize those who oppose the former president.
Trump supporters are often seen wearing MAGA hats at the former president’s rallies. However, the hats have also often been seen as controversial as scholar and Washington Post columnist Matt Sears previously stressed that the merchandise denotes a very specific set of ideas.
“The entire sentiment of ‘Make America Great Again’ implies that there was a time when America was great and it’s not any longer…The obvious conclusion is hard to escape. It takes a certain kind of willful denial and willful ignorance to wear a MAGA hat and assume that you’re not conveying all those values and beliefs,” Sears told Salon in 2019.
However, Trump supporters have defended the use of the hats. More recently, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, was threatened with removal from Congress in March for donning the hat, which she refused to take off despite being urged to do so by the Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. House of Representatives.
“I was like, ‘You can hold me out of here. Go ahead and try it, but I’m not going to take this hat off.’ And I told them, ‘I’m elected by my district, this is the People’s House, I will wear this hat, I will wear it here on the House floor because my district supports President Trump, support ‘Make America Great Again’ policies and support me wearing this hat,'” Greene told Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) at the time.
Amid this year’s presidential election, Trump and President Joe Biden are set to have their first debate on June 27 hosted by CNN at the network’s studio in Georgia, a critical battleground state. A second debate between the two is planned for September.
this garbage mouthed sorry son of a bitch needs to be fired YESTERDAY! and Amazon needs to get rid of her yesterday! this is the kind of person who has no useful purpose in life other than be cockroach food!
Good for you MTG! Wear it with PRIDE.
That is mail fraud, a hate crime and the true character of a demoncrat. Fire her and Blacklist her. Hopefully, she will have hard time getting a new job.
Excuse me but, “scholar and WAPO columnist, Matt Sears”? I wouldn’t put the word scholar in front of this losers name. It implies that he is “smart”. Which obviously is not the case. Interesting how we never see any “Build Back Better” hats.
Spoken like a true hoe for the democratic party
