About

MAGA Christmas Ornament Reviews refers to a popular trolling technique on Amazon in which people leave negative reviews for Trump-themed Christmas ornaments with the MAGA slogan on them by writing parodies of the Trump administration.

Origin

In November of 2016, the Trump campaign began selling Christmas ornaments related to Trump, such as a MAGA hat. On November 23rd, 2016, The Washington Post[1] reported on the ornaments. The MAGA hat ornament was finished with 14-karat gold and cost $149. Twitter user @KyleGriffin1[2] tweeted about the ornament that day (shown below).

Spread

Once the product was listed on Amazon, people began trolling the listing by leaving 1-star reviews for the product with references to Trump and the campaign. On the 23rd, Amazon[3] user DMCReports wrote a lengthy review of the product that was a thinly veiled parody referencing their thoughts about the election (shown below).


Review on Amazon giving the MAGA Christmas Ornament just 1-star in the review

Over the course of the following year, the trend continued with the MAGA hat and other ornaments. The trend was noticed the following year. On November 24th, 2017, Twitter user @BBCocoBear[4] tweeted about the trend (shown below).

Was this review helpful to you? Yes NoReport abuse Scared Family in the South ☆☆☆☆☆ Complete Disaster! November 26, 2016 Verified Purchase A Disaster! Ever since we found this weird guy in a gutter while visiting New York, it has completely dominated our house and now the internet. I'm convinced this novelty has evil magical skills, or something. As a joke we put this stupid thing at the bottom of the tree for laughs, but then it started appearing over on the very far right. That same night some lunatic wrote with a permanent marker on top of our baby Jesus ornament. and wrote "Lyin' Joo Jesus" on it. OMG! And the same person wrote on our Mother Mary ornament, "Knocked-up Mary." WTH! Then, a few nights later, almost a third of our ornaments, I guess, flocked to and surrounded the cap. Meanwhile, on the left side of the tree about a third of the ornaments surrounded the Donkey ornament that Mary was riding (which we've had since 1992), and everyone in the family thought that the tree was leaning left, although just barely, but enough to make everything alright and secure. Joel Wasinger ☆☆☆☆☆ Not my ornament November 24, 2016 Verified Purchase We had numerous discussions. I was very fond of a beautiful blue ornament conceived in Brooklyn and lovingly crafted in Vermont. When that got nixed, I favored the green. A few of my friends even agreed, but most just defaulted to what you might call the "classic" blue. There was just something about that blue ornament. I didn't hate it, but--okay, well I did kinda hate it (probably because I was so in love with the Vermont blue), but I also kinda liked it... it's just... so many unseemly accessories... I just couldn't jump on the bandwagon. "Green," I said, and went to sleep, believing I would awake to a tasteless but tolerable blue tree. Good God. Imagine my revulsion when I saw this loud, gaudy, worthless piece of s** on top. And the swastikas and pointy white hoods that seem to have materialized out of nowhere. So much white, so much ugly, loud whiteness. And male. I've never seen a Christmas tree so burdened with unfocused testosterone. The ornaments are so tiny really, the tiniest. You'd think that'd be their saving grace, but they're determined to compensate for their freakish deficiencies with noise and self-assertion. AT&T 食.d 4496H 8:34 AM ☆☆☆☆☆ Comes with an unusual scent. By possumb on November 23, 2017 Got this ornament as a free gift at the bottom of my hair dye box. Decided to hang it and now the whole tree smells like pee. 1,088 people found this helpful Helpful Not Helpful Report ☆☆☆☆☆ One Star By Tom Master Scheck Scheck on August 3, 2017 I think this lowered by IQ by 20 points and gave me a venereal disease, 1,819 people found this helpful Helpful Not Helpful Report ☆☆☆☆☆ Most of them don't like it, but they can't seem to return it By June Campbell on November 26, 2017 I'm Canadian, so l didn't get this ornament. However, my neighbours got one and its a real puzzle. Most of them didn't order it but it came anyway. Most of them don't like it, but they can't seem to return it. Really weird things are happening to them ever since they hung it on their tree.

Of course, it is red... an homage to its Russian roots. Other ornaments are "liddle" and "low energy" in comparison. Sad! Notoriously camera shy or it would have been Time's "hat of the year". Be sure to look for companion pieces with sayings like "I am not a crook" and "Putinmademe do it". 1,565 people found this helpful Helpful Not Helpful Report ☆☆☆☆☆ Does Nothing, seems to like Golf, Russia Fox News By Katherine D. on November 25, 2017 I received this ornament as a gift. It's not something I ever would have wanted for myself-or wished upon anyone else-but it was a gift from one of my less educated, usually drunk relations and I was forced to accept it and put it on the tree. Since putting it on the tree, the tree has not done anything. There's no wall of Read more 1,725 people found this helpful Helpful Not Helpful Report ☆☆☆☆☆ Make husband clap tiny hands!

By virginia o on November 23, 2017 My conservative neighbors gave this to us to hang on our tree. Every time my pussycat walks by the danged thing jumps on her tail. The whole family has voted that it has to go but it's still hanging around. Help us! 745 people found this helpful Helpful Not Helpful Report very blunt ornament. By J Evans on January 26, 2017 I thought this would be a festive addition to my Christmas tree. Unfortunately, within hours of putting it up, it grabbed my wife by the privates, built a wall in my backyard (that it insisted I said I would pay for), and made fun of my mentally challenged neighbor. I tried to remove it from my house, but a small minority of my
