I feel like I’m being punked.

Can someone explain to me why Biden put on a trump hat, then later was seen walking on to AF1 with the hat in his hand? Is this real? What is going on?

Doesn't seem like anything wild, just a kind gesture mixed with Biden's brand of humor. 

Feels like throwing the hat away would have been far more divisive, accepting it and keeping it (at least as far as AF1) is a nice change of pace in the political mudslinging.

Answering the question "where's the beef?"

who knows, we're kind of like season 8 of Game of Thrones right now where the original writer wasn't done and so the showrunners had to make up the rest of the plot to close it out and nobody's happy with it
