Looks like the hat a Fireman wears.

I never really liked it but did not draw the girly association.

"Girly" is purely an assigned meaning. It's a good example of where such meanings come from. Hint: it's not nature.

It's a derogatory term, meant to ridicule the object (hat) the object and vilify the supposed proponent of the policy, (The POTUS).

See, this is where the rightwing machine proves it thinks it's adherents are stupid;
The can propagate this type of silly misinformation, knowing it will be readily believed. Give the hats a name that alludes to homosexuality, attach the presidents name to it and the morons will have a ball with it. Is it true? Of course not. Will anyone who already hates the president care if it's true or not? Of course not.

See how that works?
