During a visit to Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, President Joe Biden briefly wore a red “Trump 2024” hat.
It was given to him by a Trump supporter at a fire station.
The moment quickly went viral, with the Trump campaign sharing the clip humorously.
White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates explained the gesture aimed to promote bipartisan unity.
This incident occurred amidst heightened political tensions, as Biden and Trump face off ahead of the 2024 election.
He's either very confused or he's very based.

Trump-Vance campaign responded, “Thanks for the support, Joe!”
“At the Shanksville Fire Station, @POTUS spoke about the country’s bipartisan unity after 9/11 and said we needed to get back to that,” Bates tweeted. “As a gesture, he gave a hat to a Trump supporter who then said that in the same spirit, POTUS should put on his Trump cap. He briefly wore it.”
