Teen Whose MAGA Hat Was Ripped From His Head to Get an Even Better New One
Molly Prince /
President Donald Trump gifted a San Antonio teen with a new autographed “Make America Great Again” hat after his first one was ripped from his head while he dined at a Texas Whataburger.
The July incident was captured in a now-viral video when Kino Jimenez, 30, allegedly stole 16-year-old Hunter Richard’s hat before throwing a drink on him and saying, “This is gonna go right in my f—— fireplace, b—-.”
Jimenez was later arrested for the crime and subsequently fired from his job.

Richard reiterated his support for Trump. “I support my president, and if you don’t, let’s have a conversation about it instead of ripping my hat off,” he told WOAI-TV.
