Did Biden ask for the Trump cap? Viral video answers it wasn't offered to him

President Joe Biden surprised many when he asked for the Trump 2024 cap and donned it during a visit to Pennsylvania to commemorate the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The event, held near the site where one of the hijacked planes crashed, was intended to honor first responders and unify the community. However, Biden's interaction with a Trump supporter and the subsequent cap-wearing have sparked widespread debate and viral reactions.
In a video that has quickly gained traction online, Biden is seen engaging with a Trump supporter who was already sporting the red cap.
What happened that day?
The interaction began with Biden signing a presidential hat for the man and jokingly responding to the supporter’s query about his name. The light-hearted exchange included comments about age and a brief, humorous banter between the two.
“Do you remember your name?” the man asked, to which Biden replied, “I don’t remember my name. I’m slow.” The men laughed together, with the crowd, including several children in Trump-branded attire, joining in the amusement.

As the crowd cheered, Biden requested the Trump cap from the supporter. Despite initially hesitating, saying “I ain’t going that far,” Biden eventually put on the cap over the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Co. Station 627 cap he was already wearing, eliciting applause and laughter from those present.
In a notable moment, Biden made a comment aimed at dispelling a controversial rumor promoted by Trump’s campaign about Haitian immigrants. “Just remember, no eating dogs and cats,” Biden said, which led to audible groans from the crowd.
The viral video has ignited a flurry of reactions online. Some viewers are questioning whether the cap-wearing was a genuine gesture of unity or a strategic move. One social media comment reads, “When your VP leads a coup to steal the nomination, you bat for the other team!”
According to the person who posted the video, Biden kept the Trump hat.
