A Trump supporting teenager who was assaulted for wearing his MAGA hat just received a big-time gift from President Trump.
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

According to The Hill:
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—-.”
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.
This is a wonderful gesture from President Trump. This type of behavior should never be acceptable no matter your political stance.
