The photo is quite surprising. On Wednesday, September 11, US President Joe Biden made a gesture that many would never have imagined: he put on a red cap “Trump 2024”The sequence takes place in a fire station in Shanksville, the Pennsylvania town where United Flight 93 crashed on September 11, 2001.
The images immediately took social media by storm. “Thanks for the support, Joe!”wrote Donald Trump’s campaign team on X.
But what happened? “Joe Biden visited this barracks, 23 years to the day after the attacks, to advocate for the unity of the country”explained on the same social network Andrew Bates, spokesman for the White House.
“In a friendly manner, he offered a cap to a Trump supporter who then told him that, in the same spirit, the president should wear his Trump cap. He wore it briefly.”the spokesman tried to justify.
The scene took place the day after the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. “Kamala Harris was so bad in the debate last night that Joe Biden just put on a Trump hat”the Republican’s campaign team also wrote.
