A Victorian man who says he was asked to remove a Donald Trump “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) hat at a Melbourne venue, claims he was later asked to leave a second establishment—despite not wearing the cap this time.

The MAGA hat-wearing Ange Notta initially visited the Captain Baxter venue in the seaside suburb of St. Kilda on Australia Day, but was told to remove the well-known red cap to avoid inciting “political violence.”
