The interweb is relentless with the way everyone’s poking fun at Joe Biden for trying on a Trump hat. The viral moment came “during a 9/11 commemoration event Wednesday.” It shows that Joe has fully embraced his retirement. Since he doesn’t need to worry about an election, and his own party clearly threw him under the political bus, why not have a little fun? Especially, when it can come at Kamala’s expense.
Joe wears MAGA hat
Yes, Joe Biden really did put a crimson red Trump 2024 hat on his head. He’s sending a tongue-in-cheek message to Kamala Harris. Since he’s no longer running against Trump, he doesn’t owe her a thing. Privately, he doesn’t even like her.
While hanging around the local fire station at an event honoring first responders in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, Biden happened to wander off on his own, as he’s prone to do.
Without any of his handlers at his elbow to keep him out of trouble, Joe decided to make some, sauntering up to an obvious Trump supporter, Biden seemed like any ordinary grandfather.
He even displayed a sense of humor with playful jabs at himself. As he offered to “sign a presidential seal hat” for the voter, the Trump fan quipped, “Do you remember your name?” Joe happily played along.
“I don’t remember my name,” the octogenarian casually replied. “I’m slow,” he added to chuckles from those who overheard it. “You’re an old fart,” the local observed and Joe agreed. “I’m an old guy.” Joe showed he has a human side after all by digging back at the smart remarks.
“I know you would know about that,” Joe mentioned. “He reminds me of the guys I grew up with. There was always one in the neighborhood.” He still signed the hat.
A fair exchange
The Trump supporter graciously offered to sign his own Trump hat in exchange. Someone in the crowd suggested “try it on.” Reflexively, Biden responded “Hell, no.” Then, got a little grin and a merry twinkle in his eye that made what was going through his head as loud and clear as if he said it out loud.
He knew exactly what the ramifications of allowing a photo op like that would be. Kamala, he thought, and grinned, would come unglued.
That’s when Joe deliberately placed “the Trump hat over the baseball cap he was already wearing.” He was grinning from ear-to-ear as he allowed anyone in the room with a camera to get a good shot.
“I’m proud of you now, you old fart,” the Trump supporter declared. “Don’t eat any cats and dogs,” Joe admonished. The Trump supporter had a reply. They tasted “good,” like “Kentucky Fried Chicken.”
As soon as the propaganda team in the West Wing saw it, they rushed to get a statement out. Biden, they claimed, didn’t lose his mind entirely and he’s certainly not endorsing Donald Trump over Kamala Harris.
The only reason Joe played along and put the hat on his head, the spin doctors declare, is as “a display of bipartisan unity in honor of the somber 9/11 anniversary.” One thing is crystal clear, Joe Biden really doesn’t like Kamala Harris. He kept the Trump cap. Trump’s people replaced it for the local.
