Well, that’s one way to spend $65,000.
Will Donald Trump run again? Will MAGA still hold value? I don’t know, but someone plunked down $65,000 for the name, ostensibly to poke fun at the former president. Or maybe they’re a fan? It’s a term Joe Biden used to refer to Trump.
It was one of many nice end user domain sales at Sedo this week.
Here’s a list of the end user sales. You can view previous lists like this here.

The image on Maga.com isn’t a joke, it’s is in line with many such images from superfans and propagandists (there are similar images of both Trump and Putin together similarly dressed and tagged as the great defenders of civilization).
“The Great MAGAKing” looks to be a play on “The Great Awakening,” a major element of the Qanon belief system which refers to, as I understand it, a time when all the non-believers ‘wake up’ and follow Qanon then yada, yada, yada, all opponents will be murdered.
It’s very dark stuff. The idea that someone coughed up $65,000 to do this is interesting. I assume it’ll be a cash grab, but I’m not sure how they’ll pull it off.
Of note, there’s a January 2022 trademark for MAGA covering comic books and action figures. There may be a tie in, which could explain it.
Andrew Allemann says
Thanks for the background
Perfectname.com Sales says
I would have paid that for maga.com.That is the most gullible group in the world. Very easy selling to that cult.
Squarely says
So why didn’t you buy?
Should could have to ….
Perfectname.com Sales says
> Squarely There is only one maga.com and I didn’t know it was for sale and someone else bought it. That is why I didn’t buy.
Ethan Taylor says
Please be respectful. They wants to make America great again. I would say they are patriots and would not refer to them as a cult.
As to the January 6 incident, there is a documentary shows that it was largely instigated and staged by the anti-Trump force. It looks like the link of that documentary is getting censored in comments (and that’s disappointing btw), so you can search for “J6TRUTH” on Google if you want to know more.
franckj says
lol. No
Ethan Taylor says
I would like to correct my wording in my previous comment. The “staged” should be “schemed” instead. I’m not a native English speaker and sometimes make wording mistakes that completely convey very different meanings.
lothar97 says
Still 100% absolutely wrong. It was 100% planned and executed by Trump and his supporters. Please don’t post conspiracy BS on this site.
Ethan Taylor says
Dear sir, you made a bold claim which you did not prove with convincible evidence.
A Reuters report and a social media post by a leader of a far-right, anti-Trump organization called “Boogaloo Boys” have proven that the rally was infiltrated by undercover anti-Trump people.
About 8 hours ago, I left a comment citing text from the two aforementioned sources and also provided a hyperlink to each source, but the comment got censored immediately. I then left another comment without hyperlinks, and now it is gone, too.
@Andrew, would you be so kind as to tell us why that comment of mine is gone? I hope there is no unfairness here. Even you have unintentionally helped imply yourself in this article that Trump attacked the Capitol building, by posting a screenshot of the image from the sold domain name. So it would be an unfairness to censor comments which provide proper evidence to clarify the nature of the incident. Surely, you would not think Reuters is lying on this matter and is not trustworthy?
Andrew Allemann says
Ethan, some past and any further comments about this will be deleted
Perfectname.com Sales says
Are you a comedian?
dk says
Regardless Trump or politics, superb cvcv .com for a great price.
Michael Gargiulo says
People get so triggered over Trump… still.
And @ethan taylor, while frustrating, Domain Name Wire, is a private company and can censor/delete any comments they want.
Although, censoring related discussion is sad to see, especially with a headline like this referencing the most censored American President in history.
