SHANKSVILLE, PA – President Joe Biden posed for pictures with a group of children in Shanksville, but when those pictures were made public, they went viral. That’s because the kids were all wearing Trump shirts and hats. Later, Biden spoke about the kids and brought them into his own political discussion.
The photo in question shows Biden with a group of young kids wearing Trump merch, including MAGA hats, 45, USA/Trump shirts, and hats. The president seemed oblivious to it, but the kids were obviously getting a kick out of it.
Biden traveled to the three 9-11 sites on Saturday, but didn’t make any speeches or take questions from the press as he’s still dodging and weaving from his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and his recent vaccination mandate announcement.
Biden unmasked with unvaccinated school children
The most important question nobody is asking today is does anything Biden say about COVID-19, masking and vaccinations make any scientific sense? That’s because just days after telling America unvaccinated children are America’s biggest threat the county is facing when it comes to health and wellness, he’s seen in the photo with no mask around children who are under 12, also unmasked.
The photo was taken in Pennsylvania while he was visiting during a 9-11 ceremony.
If there was a picture that would lead Americans to believe that everything the President said Friday about masking and vaccinations and children wearing masks in schools was nothing but political hyperbole on his part, this photo is it. If he truly believed it was Trump Republicans not getting vaccinated, why would he meet with a bunch of maskless kids, masked himself if that is what he truly believes?
Is Biden Ok with it?
The alternative is that it’s not what he truly believes and most of what President Joe Biden says is scripted by other people and he’s just the guy who delivers their message.
Another possibility is that maybe Joe really has lost his mind and was so oblivious to all of the optics in this photo.
The other thing nobody is talking about is the hidden creepiness in this photo. Yes, the arm around the young girl’s waist. It seems Joe just can’t resist.
Those darn kids…
Biden later spoke about his encounter with the Trump kids
“I think the real issue for those kids that — just had a picture taken with — couple of them had Trump hats from last year — I think, for them, it’s going to be: Are we going to, in the next 4, 5, 6, 10 years, demonstrate that democracies can work, or not?” Biden said.
