The current head of state has already gone down in history as the oldest American leader at the time of inauguration, and if he completes his current term, he could break Joe Biden's age record for length of time in office.
Trump decided to celebrate his anniversary on a grand scale: a special arena was set up on the South Lawn of the White House for the UFC Freedom 250 mixed martial arts tournament, which was also timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the United States.
The anniversary celebration once again drew attention to the president's age and health condition.
Although official White House doctors report that he is in excellent shape, Trump has been noted to have swelling in his legs and bruises on his arms, which doctors attribute to chronic venous insufficiency, aspirin use, and frequent handshakes.
Another detail in the portrait of the birthday celebrant is his unwavering love for fast food - McDonald's, KFC, and soft drinks, which he has repeatedly treated official guests to.
Trump's foreign policy track record as he turns 80 also remains a subject of heated debate.
The head of the White House often claims that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for "ending wars," however, as reported by the Associated Press, international observers describe these claims as exaggerated.
For example, regarding the situation with Iran, Trump stated that a deal would soon be signed after a period of intense escalation, but Tehran has yet to confirm any specific timelines.
Trump's political mythology at 80 years old largely revolves around the image of an "invulnerable" leader.
An important part of this image was the assassination attempt he survived in 2024 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Later, the FBI investigated another assassination attempt at his golf club in Florida.
Despite his advanced age, Trump shows no signs of slowing down, seeking greater control, media influence, and new political victories.
