TOI correspondent from Washington: US President Donald Trump, who turns 80 next month, has spent years presenting himself as less an aging president than a human monument to stamina, fast food, and pure willpower. He rarely admits fatigue, claims to sleep little, and speaks about his own health the way medieval poets described immortal kings.

Trump, oldest person to assume the presidency, has also faced questions after appearing to fall asleep during several meetings.

Donald Trump, whose birthday is June 14, became the oldest person to assume the presidency when he began his second term in January 2025.
