At the commemoration ceremony for the attacks of September 11, Joe Biden once again made himself the talk of the town with an action he took. The reason was his choice of headgear.
The headgear did not suit him particularly well: During a visit to the US state of Pennsylvania, outgoing US President Joe Biden put on a red cap with the inscription “Trump 2024”. The cap is one of the accessories of the election campaign of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who wants to move back into the White House and whom Biden sees as a threat to US democracy.
At a meeting on Wednesday with firefighters in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to commemorate the terrorist attacks of September 11, a Trump supporter handed Biden the cap. The 81-year-old, who was wearing a black cap himself, took the red one and put it on as well.
Donald Trump thanks Joe Biden
The video of the laughing president with the cap of his political arch-rival perched on his head quickly spread on online services. The Trump team reacted immediately: “Thanks for the support, Joe!” the team wrote on the online service X.
The president dropped out of the race for the White House on July 21 because doubts about his mental and physical fitness had become increasingly louder. The trigger for the end of his political career was a disastrous performance in the TV debate with Trump a month earlier.
