Happy Birthday President Donald Trump
President Donald Trump turned 80 on Sunday, becoming only the second sitting U.S. president to reach octogenarian status in the Oval Office, leaving even his onetime political opponents marveling at his defying the effects of Father Time - even if his critics continue to share concerns they never had with the older former President Joe Biden, now 83.
"You don't have to wish me a happy birthday, because I'm not happy about that birthday that I'm having," Trump joked with Dr. Mehmet Oz, 66, in an Oval Office video shared Thursday on Instagram. "It's a number I haven't thought too much about.
"It's not a number I like, but I'm here nevertheless."
Trump's White House is celebrating his keeping up the fight with an Ultimate Fighting Championship on the South Lawn.
"At least to date, he has seemed to utterly defy age," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. The 55-year-old Cruz was a target of Trump's political fire a decade ago on the opposite side of the Republican presidential primary race.
"I don't know where he gets the energy that he displays, but he is up early in the morning and late at night," Cruz added.
