Ivanka shares never-before-seen images for Trump's birthday
Ivanka Trump and her half-sister sister Tiffany celebrated her father's 78th birthday by sharing a series of photos in sweet tributes on Instagram . 'Happy Birthday dad! I love you today and everyday!' Ivanka, 42, wrote along with one of her wedding day portraits with the former president.
She also posted a photo walking alongside Trump in the White House 's signature portico and several tender snaps of herself and her father at young ages. Former President Donald Trump is celebrating turning 78 on Friday with a birthday bash in West Palm Beach, Florida .
Tiffany posted: 'Happy Birthday @realdonaldtrump...I love you, dad!' next to pictures from her wedding at Mar-a-Lago. Tiffany, 30, tied the knot with billionaire beau Michael Boulous, 26, at the end of 2022. Boulous also posted a wedding snap from his account, which Tiffany shared.
The former president will headline a 'Club 47' event near Mar-a-Lago at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, where some of his most boisterous supporters plan to don red, white and blue attire to fete the presumptive Republican nominee. The invitation showed the ex-president hugging an American flag - an homage to his Flag Day birth.
Club 47's President Larry Snowden confirmed to DailyMail.com that there would be cake and a playing of the birthday song. 'All of the above. Huge birthday celebration,' he wrote in an email. The festivities come just a few weeks after Trump became a convicted felon when a Manhattan jury found him guilty of all 34 charges related to falsification of business records for his hush money payment to Stormy Daniels .
The day before heading back to Florida for his birthday, Trump was in Washington, D.C. for his first trip to the Capitol since leaving office. There he met with House and Senate GOP lawmakers where he was welcomed with them singing him Happy Birthday. With just five months until the 2024 presidential election , age has become a huge focal point.
Whether Trump or President Joe Biden wins in November, both would break the record as the oldest person ever elected U.S. president. Biden currently already holds the record – he was 78-years-old when he was inaugurated in January 2021 and would be 86 at the time of finishing a second term if he wins reelection. Meanwhile, if Trump wins, he would be 82 when ending a second term.
A majority of Americans have repeatedly said in polling that they did not want a rematch between Trump and Biden in the 2024 election, with many claiming both were too old or mentally and physically unfit to serve. Nine years ago in 2015 – Trump celebrated his 69th birthday at Trump Tower two days after announcing he was running for president in the 2016 election.
When Trump was elected president in 2016, he became the oldest man to ever take office. Biden beat that record just four years later. Meanwhile, many younger Americans are not pleased that the age of U.S. politicians seems to be going up, with many holding onto their positions despite their advanced ages.
For example, Bill Clinton, who was president in the 1990s, is slightly younger than Trump and will turn 78 in August. A handful of U.S. representatives are the same age as Trump after his Friday birthday – and at least 15 are older than him.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, is the only U.S. senator that is the same age as Trump, but eight other senators of the 100 in the upper chamber are older than 78. Overall, 35 senators are 70 or older – meaning more than two-thirds of the Senate are considered elderly.
Trump has maintained that he is physically and mentally fit for office, claiming he has aced acuity tests and boasting he is in much better shape that the current president, who is three-and-a-half-years his senior. Biden turns 82 on November 20, just a few weeks after the 2024 presidential election.
