Donald Trump, known for hating his own birthdays, seemed particularly upset during his 78th birthday celebration. As he campaigns for another term in office, he is trying to convince the country to give him four more years, which would make him the oldest president in American history. Both Trump and the current 81-year-old president try to downplay their age while making the other appear as old and out of touch as possible. The Trump team has been sharing selectively edited videos of Joe Biden in an attempt to paint him as feeble and incompetent.
In the past, Donald Trump used to enjoy his birthdays and would throw lavish parties at his casinos in Atlantic City and New York. However, his recent birthday celebration was held at the Palm Beach County Convention Center by a group of supporters called Club 47 USA. The event featured a tiered cake with images of Trump playing golf and sitting behind the resolute desk, along with Trump-themed decorations. During the celebration, he shared a story about ordering a drone strike on a top Iranian commander and expressed disappointment with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
At the birthday event, Trump was joined by his only living sibling, Elizabeth Trump, as well as Marco Rubio and Kellyanne Conway. Rubio praised Trump for his dedication to the country, suggesting that his involvement in politics stems from a love for America and a desire to protect it from those who wish to harm it. Additionally, Trump commented on a 101-year-old World War II veteran attending the event, comparing him favorably to Joe Biden. The former president had also been serenaded by House Republicans and presented with a birthday cake earlier in the week.
As he reflects on turning 78, Trump made a rare moment of introspection at a campaign rally in Las Vegas. He spoke about his parents’ long and happy lives, hinting at his own hopes for a lengthy life ahead. Despite his public persona and political ambitions, the milestone birthday seems to have prompted Trump to contemplate his mortality and the legacy he hopes to leave behind. Although known for his brash and bombastic style, Trump’s acknowledgment of his age and the passage of time may be a sign of a more reflective and contemplative side to his personality.
