The White House claims that President Biden broke necks by donning a red MAGA hat, but he isn’t switching teams; rather, he did it to unite people on opposing ends of the political spectrum.
The image of President Trump wearing a Donald Trump 2024 lid at a fire station in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday went viral very fast.
The sequence of events leading up to the picture was described by White House spokesman Andrew Bates.
He said that Biden was giving a Trump fan a hat to wear and receiving a MAGA hat in return as he was talking about the bipartisan unity that America had after 9/11 and the need to restore it.
At the Shanksville Fire Station, @POTUS spoke about the country's bipartisan unity after 9/11 and said we needed to get back to that.
As a gesture, he gave a hat to a Trump supporter who then said that in the same spirit, POTUS should put on his Trump cap. He briefly wore it. https://t.co/7VKZnkVMY7

According to the White House, Biden donned the hat for a short moment as a show of solidarity. This all transpired when the President was speaking with firemen close to the site.
