President Donald J. Trump marked his 79th birthday on Saturday, June 14, coinciding with Flag Day celebrations across the United States. The milestone cements his status as the oldest person ever inaugurated, having taken the oath of office for a second non-consecutive term on Jan. 20 at 78 years and 220 days. Republican officials and supporters flooded social media with congratulations, including messages from House Speaker Mike Johnson, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, and Senators John Barrasso and Katie Britt. During a Washington parade, sections of the crowd broke into an impromptu rendition of “Happy Birthday,” underscoring the president’s enduring popularity within the party. Trump’s new age places him ahead of three of the nation’s four living former leaders in seniority—Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton—while only centenarian Jimmy Carter remains older. The president’s longevity highlights the growing prominence of septuagenarians and octogenarians in U.S. political life.
