Donald Trump, who has repeatedly attacked President Joe Biden as old and feeble, celebrated his 78th birthday on Friday, raising questions about his own mental and physical health. Trump’s bid for a White House return is largely based on portraying Biden as aged and incapable, but the former president’s own age and health have become increasingly relevant.
If Trump wins the November election, he will become the oldest president to take office at 78, surpassing Biden’s record as the oldest man to hold the office at 81.
Despite their close ages, Trump has cultivated an image of vigor with the help of right-wing media, often labeling Biden as “sleepy” or senile. The contrast between Trump’s attacks on Biden’s age and his own advancing years has sparked growing scrutiny of his own health and fitness for office.
