President Joe Biden was seen this Wednesday briefly wearing a red hat with the message "Trump 2024" during a conversation with firefighters in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the anniversary of the September 11 attacks was being commemorated.
According to the White House, the gesture was a sign of "bipartisan unity" at a solemn moment, as he briefly wore a red cap from the MAGA movement (Make America Great Again), the iconic campaign slogan of Donald Trump in 2016, reported Daily Mail.
Biden's brief moment with the hat sparked reactions on social media linked to the MAGA movement, while the White House clarified that it was part of a friendly exchange with a Trump supporter.
"At the Shanksville fire station, President Joe Biden spoke about the nation's bipartisan unity after September 11 and said that we needed to return to that," posted Andrew Bates, White House spokesperson, on X.
"As a gesture, he gave a cap to a Trump supporter, who then suggested that, in the same spirit, Biden should put on his Trump cap," he pointed out on that social network.
"Biden used it briefly," Bates added.
When Bates published his message, Trump's followers were already spreading the idea that Biden, 81, was so "senile" that he had not noticed what the cap said, Daily Mail pointed out.
Biden, Trump, and Kamala Harris attended multiple memorial ceremonies for September 11 on Wednesday, a day after Trump and Harris faced off for the first time in a debate.
A survey conducted by CNN after the presidential debate between Harris and Trump revealed strong results that support a victory for the current vice president.
However, the Republican candidate assured that he won the debate against the Democratic candidate held on Tuesday night in Philadelphia.
A survey conducted this Wednesday on the CiberCuba Noticias page on Facebook, primarily aimed at a Cuban audience, shows a clear inclination towards Donald Trump in the recent presidential debate that pitted him against Kamala Harris, less than two months away from the elections on November 5 in the United States.
