White House: Biden Wore Trump Hat to Show Unity on 9/11
Yeah, I don’t think so.
President Joe Biden put on a Trump 2024 hat in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.
Of course, people went crazy about it.
The White House has an explanation.
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.
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. https://t.co/7VKZnkVMY7

It didn’t seem like a moment of unity. But it looked like Biden knew it was a Trump hat and did it in humor. Here’s the entire exchange:
Biden: “Sure, I’ll autograph [a hat].”
Man: “You remember your name?”
Biden: “I don’t remember my name… I’m slow.”
Man: “You’re an old fart.”
Biden: “Yeah, I’m an old guy… You would know a lot about that.”
…
Biden: “I need [the Trump] hat.”
Crowd: “Put it on!”
Biden: *Puts the hat on.*
Man: “I’m proud of you now.”

Bonchie is probably correct. We’ve seen interviews with Biden in which he implies the situation was a coup and is angry with senior Democrats.
This is the most likable, relatable thing Biden has ever done.
And you won’t convince me that deep down he doesn’t want Kamala to lose so he can say “I told you so” to everyone who couped him, including her. https://t.co/cbL1LrIKqj

The last several years have seen incidents of chyrons with election results ‘accidentally’ shown before the election, and those ‘accidentally’ chyrons turned out to be dead on accurate predicting the winner and margin.
Blink 3 times if you’re in danger, Joe.
He wore that one because they were out of Truman ’48 hats.
Biden Beats Truman…
I like it!
Biden beat Biden, and Harris is feasting on his bones.
The Truman in ’48 was before my time. I’m more familiar with the Truman in ’98.
When I see Biden he reminds me of Truman in the Truman Show who has no idea there are cameras filming him.
Additionally, in Biden’s case, he has no idea where he is or what he is doing.
I was born in 1949. That makes Truman my first president.
Just think, if you can hold on for another twenty years, and lose your marbles, the D’s might make you POTUS.
I think it demonstrates Biden is checking out. Not necessarily dementia, but not caring much anymore about flinging stones and arrows in defense of the progressive cabal. He’s back to being a glad-hander, a retail politician.
If he were running, even at a 9/11 event I doubt he would have smiled and worn a Trump hat. But now he really doesn’t care.
I wonder if they’ve taken him mostly off the hard drugs now that nobody needs to see him “in action” anymore. That would make for a milder dementia, I think.
If he votes for Trump that will show even more unity, but who am I kidding, as the walking dead he is definitely voting Democrat.
Biden wore the Trump hat because he has the mental capacity of a toddler.
This was a good moment because it captures some of what used to be great about American Politics and the place America should be trying to return to.
Biden has been a horrible president because instead of going in this direction he danced to the tune of people like Bernie Sanders.
Considering he’s committed capital offenses
