Donald Trump's 78th Birthday Filled with Controversy and Campaign Antics

It's no secret that Donald Trump doesn't enjoy his birthdays. Even his ex-wife, Ivana Trump, once mentioned his dislike for the occasion. This sentiment was evident on Friday when his supporters gathered to sing "Happy Birthday" to him at a rally in Las Vegas, and he expressed his genuine displeasure. Trump admitted to his supporters that there comes a point when he doesn't want to hear "Happy Birthday" and just wishes the day didn't exist.

The Age Factor

At 78 years old, Trump is currently campaigning for another four years in office, which would make him the oldest president in American history if he were to be re-elected. The current record is held by the 81-year-old incumbent.

On the campaign trail, both Trump and his opponent try to downplay their age, each attempting to make the other appear as old and grumpy as possible. Trump's team spent the week circulating edited videos of his opponent, Joe Biden, portraying him as looking lost and confused. Meanwhile, Trump himself described Biden as someone who has "no clue what the hell is going on" during a birthday celebration with his supporters in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday evening.
