President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris visited firefighters in Shanksville, Pennsylvania — as did former President Donald Trump, though at a different time — and video shows that the responses to their respective arrivals were dramatically different.
All three made stops in Shanksville at the Volunteer Fire Department after first attending memorial ceremonies at Ground Zero in New York City — and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Stoystown — to mark the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but Trump got a much more animated reception from the crowd when he walked into the building.

According to video of their entrance, the crowd hardly appeared to notice when President Biden and Vice President Harris — who is currently running for president on the Democratic ticket — entered the room. But when Trump arrived, someone could be heard saying, “There he is” — and then the room quickly erupted in loud cheers and applause.
“The first thing we gotta do is fire Joe,” one person shouted.
“Oh, yeah, we’ll get him out,” Trump replied, prompting laughs.

The former president reportedly stayed at the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Department for about an hour, signing autographs and taking photos with the crowd of just over 100. He gave brief remarks that were interrupted occasionally with chants of “U.S.A.” and “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
According to a report from the Washington County-based Observer-Reporter, Trump was also invited by family members of Edward-Porter Felt and Louis J. Nacke III — both of whom were killed when United Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville — to attend a private memorial ceremony.
Trump won Cambria County — where Shanksville is located — with 68% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election.
