In a surprising turn of events, US President Joe Biden was seen wearing a “Trump 2024” campaign hat during a visit to the Shanksville Fire Station in Pennsylvania, where he attended a 9/11 memorial event.

During the visit, which included a wreath-laying ceremony at the United Airlines Flight 93 memorial site, President Biden interacted with attendees, including a Trump supporter who presented him with the campaign hat.


The video and images of Biden donning the Trump cap quickly spread across social media platforms, particularly X (formerly known as Twitter), leading many to question the authenticity of the footage.

Speculations about the possibility of the footage being a deepfake were promptly addressed by several media outlets and public figures who confirmed its authenticity.

Radio host Christopher Calvin Reid tweeted, “This isn’t AI—it’s been confirmed by multiple outlets, and there are live video feeds to prove it.” Conservative commentator Carmine Sabia also commented, “No, this is not AI. This is President Joe Biden donning a Trump 2024 hat,” further dispelling doubts about the clip’s authenticity.

The White House also clarified that Biden’s action was a gesture of unity, reflecting the spirit of bipartisan goodwill that characterized the country’s response to the 9/11 attacks.

Bates explained, “At the Shanksville Fire Station, President Biden spoke about the country’s bipartisan unity after 9/11 and said we needed to return to that spirit. As a gesture, he gave a hat to a Trump supporter, who then asked him to wear the Trump cap. He briefly wore it in the same spirit of unity.”

Despite the White House’s clarification, reactions to the gesture were mixed.

Florida’s Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis humorously remarked, “At this point, even Joe Biden is voting for President Trump.”

Meanwhile, RedState writer Bonchie quipped, “Biden wearing a Trump hat because it’s 2024, and why not?”

These comments reflect the diverse interpretations of Biden’s action, ranging from viewing it as a symbol of bipartisan unity to a political misstep.


The incident occurred just hours after a heated debate between Vice President Kamala Harris, the current Democratic nominee, and Donald Trump, the Republican contender for the 2024 presidential election.

The Trump campaign seized on the moment to mock Biden, suggesting that his gesture was a reaction to Harris’s performance in the debate.

The “War Room” account of Trump’s campaign humorously noted, “Kamala did so bad in last night’s debate, Joe Biden put on a Trump hat.”

This remark further fueled the discussion about the motivations behind Biden’s actions.


Amid the debate, the gesture remains a focal point in the ongoing political discourse. While some interpret it as a sincere attempt to bridge political divides, others view it as a controversial move in an already polarized political environment.
