The US president was heckled by firefighters until he put on the \u2018Trump 2024\u2019 hat<\/p>\n\n\n\n
US President Joe Biden was filmed trying on one of Donald Trump\u2019s campaign hats at a 9\/11 memorial event in Pennsylvania on Wednesday. The White House said that Biden wore his two-time opponent\u2019s headgear in a gesture of \u201cbipartisan unity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biden met with firefighters in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, near where United Airlines flight 93 crashed when its hijackers were overpowered by passengers on September 11, 2001. The crowd in the fire station heckled Biden, with one man asking the president \u201cdo you remember your name?\u201d as Biden autographed a hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re an old fart,\u201d the man said to Biden, before the president responded \u201cYeah, I\u2019m an old guy…You would know a lot about that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biden then took the man\u2019s \u2018Trump 2024\u2019 hat and placed it on top of his own, eliciting cheers from the pro-Trump crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m proud of you now,\u201d the man said to Biden, as the two shook hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The White House press pool was not invited into the fire station, and until a video of the encounter was posted on social media, the only images of the visit that made it online were a photograph and a short video of a smiling Biden wearing the Trump hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both were eagerly shared by the Trump campaign and conservative influencers. \u201cKamala did so bad in last night\u2019s debate, Joe Biden just put on a Trump hat,\u201d the campaign\u2019s \u2018Trump War Room\u2019 account posted<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
