President Biden posed with a crowd of children dressed in pro-Donald Trump garb in an awkward photo shoot at a Pennsylvania campfire on Wednesday.
The 81-year-old president looked uncomfortable as he stood amid about 16 young people — many donning T-shirts supporting Trump — during a visit to a Shanksville firehouse to mark the 23rd anniversary of September 11 terrorist attacks.
the photo, shared on X by conservative influencer Benny Johnsonshows several of the children wearing shirts with Trump’s face plastered on the front, including one with the former commander-in-chief in Terminator sunglasses with “I’ll be back” written on them.
A less-than-enthusiastic teenager stood far to Biden’s left, not cracking a smile.
Biden brought beer and pizza to the firehouse after a wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial for United Airlines Flight 93, which was hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists and crashed in rural Pennsylvania instead of hitting its intended target after passengers stormed the cockpit.
While at the firehouse, a man handed the president his red “Trump 2024” hat, as Biden put cards on the head before handing it back with a grin.
Shanksville, located in Somerset County in central Pennsylvania, is a deep red part of the battleground state where more than 77% of voters supported Trump in the 2020 election.
