    No, the guy that Snopes points out as a comparison has the brim in back. You might consider that "backward," but the nape strap is, correctly, at the ...wait for it...nape of the guy's neck.

    POTATUS has the nape strap in front. That alone should be grounds for impeachment, or at least invoking the 25th.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      So Snopes is wrong. Again.

        IMO it's an insurrection. And I do NOT use that word lightly.

          The funny thing is that it’s not really that big of a deal until Snopes “debunks” it. Now it’s a very big deal.

            I dunno, I’ve seen plenty of fabrication shop floor welders wearing their hard hats reversed just like Biden. Same with yard labourers during rig ups. Matter of personal choice, really no right or wrong way unless there is stated company safety policy prescribing how the hat is to be worn..

                  But with the strap on the forehead?

                    More importantly, why is he wearing a hard hat in a bar?

                    I was only joking

                      It's a Sconnie bar.

                        Could be worse. Imagine if he wore a tan suit?

                        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                              As I said above… The hard hat being backwards wasn’t a story. Snopes “fact checking” and saying it wasn’t backwards? That’s a story.

                                Correct. Laughing at POTATUS for wearing a hardhat backward is just another ornament on the tree of his gaffes.

                                Snopes is the winner (?) here.
