For those who have not been living under a rock in recent years, the message appears very similar to Donald Trump’s famous “Make America Great Again”. But John Magne Stene is not a Trump supporter, he warns. The right-winger hopes Kamala Harris will walk away with a victory, but is “110 percent sure Trump will win”.

The deputy mayor is avoiding

Nina Bakken Bye is the deputy mayor in Levanger and the group leader in Levanger Høyre. She doesn’t know about Stene or that such t-shirts or caps exist, she tells Nettavisen.

– This is not something I want to be part of the Conservative Party’s election campaign, and it is not part of the Conservative Party’s election campaign equipment, said the deputy mayor.

The Conservative Party will not interfere

– This is especially like an innocent sport, and we cannot be so boring that we have no room for humor, writes Cato Husabø Fossen, head of communication in the Conservative Party to Nettavisen.

– Høyre has almost 30,000 members and we don’t care what caps and t-shirts they choose to wear. Not the first to create a humorous twist on the slogan “Make America Great Again”, and hardly the last. And you can do that regardless of what you think about Trump and his policies.

– Norway is not a dictatorship at all, but the Conservative Party agrees with Stene that taxes are too high. That’s why we choose to reduce them.
