Only in Pennsylvania: Watch as President Biden Called an Old Fart and Dons Trump Hat

 Shanksville, PA – In a scene that sounds more like an SNL sketch than a presidential visit, President Joe Biden found himself in a rather unusual exchange with a Trump supporter during his visit to Pennsylvania. The president, in town to honor the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks at the Flight 93 Memorial, later stopped at a local fire station where things took a bizarre, albeit oddly lighthearted, turn.

The moment began when Biden was approached by a Trump supporter who politely (in the way only a Trump supporter might) heckled the president.

The supporter asked for an autograph, prompting Biden to quip, “Sure, I’ll sign a hat.” But the banter didn’t stop there. The man, not missing a beat, followed up with the classic zinger, “Do you even remember your name?”

Biden responded with some self-deprecating humor, saying, “I don’t remember my name… I’m slow.”

Clearly amused, the man then took it up a notch, calling Biden an “old fart.” Biden, not one to shy away from a joke, acknowledged the jab with, “Yeah, I’m an old guy… You would know a lot about that.” The back-and-forth, though unusual, seemed to be in good spirits.

But the pièce de résistance of this peculiar encounter came when the crowd egged Biden on to don a “Trump 2024” hat. After a bit of coaxing, the president gave in and placed the hat on his head, much to the delight of the onlookers.

“I need the hat,” Biden remarked before the crowd erupted with chants of “Put it on!”

As Biden finally did, the man declared, “I’m proud of you now,” completing what must be one of the strangest moments in recent political memory.

In the end, what could have been a tense exchange became an oddly charming—and undeniably strange—moment of levity in an otherwise solemn day. Only in America, right?
