Teen who had his MAGA hat stolen gets one signed by Trump
The Texas teenager who had his “Make America Great Again” hat taken from him now has a new one signed by President Trump, according to Fox News.
A viral video last week captured San Antonio resident Kino Jimenez taking teenager Hunter Richard’s hat and throwing a drink at him. Police said Jimenez, 30, was promptly arrested for theft and the hat ultimately returned to Hunter.
In the video, Jiminez mutters, “”You ain’t supporting s—, n—-.”
So went out for a 2am snack and my friend (wearing a MAGA hat) had his hat stolen and a drink thrown in his face (and mine, you can see my arms on the left of the video) pic.twitter.com/B3QjBFIxPk

Hunter’s experience caught the attention of President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., who tweeted on July 5 that “if someone can get me this young man’s information,” he’ll get him a new hat personally signed by the president.

The 16-year-old Hunter on Wednesday reported he had indeed received the familiar red baseball cap signed with the president’s name.
