US President Joe Biden unexpectedly wore a red Trump 2024 hat during a 9/11 anniversary ceremony in Shanksville.
The moment occurred during a visit to the Shanksville fire station where Biden was meeting with firefighters. After giving his hat to a Trump supporter, Biden was handed the Trump cap and wore it, an exchange captured on camera.
The video of Biden wearing the hat quickly circulated on social media, with critics, mocking the president and questioning his mental acuity. Some Republicans claimed Biden was unaware of the hat’s political message, while others saw the moment as a symbolic gesture.
In response to the growing speculation, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates clarified that Biden’s intention was to promote bipartisan unity. Bates explained that the president’s actions were meant to echo the spirit of togetherness that defined the country after the 9/11 attacks.
President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Donald Trump all participated in various 9/11 memorial events.
