"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," White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates said.
"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," he added.

From Collin Rugg:
Biden: "Sure, I'll autograph [a hat]."
Man: "You remember your name?"
Biden: "I don't remember my name... I'm slow."
Man: "You're an old fart."
Biden: "Yeah, I'm an old guy... You would know a lot about that."
...
Biden: "I need [the Trump] hat."
Crowd: "Put it on!"
Biden: *Puts the hat on.*
Man: "I'm proud of you now."
Biden reportedly didn't return the hat.
"There are rumors that Biden was offered an autographed copy of Trump's latest book, along with a bumper sticker, mug, backpack, T-shirt, and bumper sticker from Trump's crew. The Trump campaign needed to procure a replacement cap for the gentlemen," DailyNoah noted.

BBC reports:
The daughter of the man who swapped hats with the president said Biden kept the Trump hat after the interaction.
"My pap don't care who it is," Kelsey Simmers told the BBC. "He likes to joke and have fun."
She said that her father ended up getting another cap from the Trump campaign after they reached out.
The incident happened hours after Trump had joked on the debate stage about sending Vice-President Kamala Harris a Make America Great Again hat.
