Make the hats stop.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, perhaps still needing to cover up his head bump, appeared at his buddy Donald Trump’s immigration speech Wednesday night sporting some new and not-quite-grammatically-correct campaign swag.
Atop his head sat a white cap bearing a slogan never before seen on Trump’s Mexico-maligning campaign: “Make Mexico Great Again Also.”
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, another Trump lover, also embarrassed himself with the cap Wednesday night.
Raising the pressing question: Why? Why? Why?
The Trump campaign did not immediately answer questions from the Daily News about the hat. Nor did Cali-Fame, the California-based company that makes Trump’s notorious “Make America Great Again” caps.
If Cali-Fame is behind the new hat, though, that likely means Latinos made it.
The Los Angeles Times reported last year that the floor of Cali-Fame’s Los Angeles factory is staffed almost entirely by Latino workers — many of them verified immigrants.
“When we first got the order, I said to myself, ‘Just wait until he sees who’s making his hats,'” Yolanda Melendrez, a Mexican immigrant who works at the warehouse, told the Times.
“We’re Latinos, we’re Mexicans, Salvadoreños.”
The company has so far profited handsomely from Trump’s swag — the latest FEC filings show the campaign paid Cali-Fame more than $350,000 for caps in July alone.
It is unclear if Cali-Fame is also behind the Mexico hats, which are identical to the “Make America Great Again” headgear. Some of Trump’s other campaign merchandise is made in China, a practice Trump said he has “never been happy about” but has still not changed.
As for the new hat’s ungrammatical slogan, that reportedly came straight from Trump’s brain.
The hats are, for now, apparently available only for Giuliani’s bumped head, because the Trump campaign store does not have them for sale.
That thwarts any plans one may have for putting the hat in a gift basket with a “Latinos Voten Por Trump” button and a “#BUILDTHEWALL” T-shirt.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign, meanwhile, is hawking a red cap bearing another slogan that tumbled out of Trump’s head: “I have a very good brain.”
