President Donald Trump turned 80 this weekend, and according to his one-time biographer, it was far from a celebration for him, as his advancing age has him anxious and shutting down his own administration’s plans to tackle voter concerns about it head-on.<\/p>\n

Trump is the oldest person ever elected to the presidency in the U.S., and is set to end his second term in the White House at age 82. His advanced age has prompted widespread concern about his mental and physical fitness for office, concerns which have been greatly exacerbated by recurring bruises on his hand, his tendency to fall asleep during televised public events and his increasingly incoherent and rambling speeches.<\/p>\n

Michael Wolff is a longtime writer and reporter, best known for his extensive coverage of Trump’s life and political career, including a series of books about his first term, based on insider sources. During the latest edition of his Daily Beast podcast, “Inside Trump’s Head,” he revealed that Trump has not been handling concerns about his age well, and even shut down plans from his officials to address his age with a messaging strategy.<\/p>\n

“I know that there has been \u2014 this is a difficult and awkward discussion inside the Trump circle, this birthday,\u201d Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles. \u201cI know of one situation in which this was brought up, how to kind of counterprogram against this. And also, against the background of Biden and how that affected his age and the perception of his age, and the fact that they failed to successfully program against that affected his presidency.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cSo what should they do, and isn\u2019t this worthy of a substantial discussion? Well, Trump completely cut that off. Cut this person dead. No discussion of this. No wanting to go down that path. And, in fact, he now deflects to the 250th birthday of the United States. That\u2019s the birthday that counts. That\u2019s the birthday they should be thinking about. Anything not to have people thinking about his 80th birthday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump himself appears to have let these anxieties slip through, with the Daily Beast noting an Oval Office exchange earlier this week in which he told Medicare and Medicaid Services chief Mehmet Oz that it was OK to not wish him a happy birthday.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to wish me a happy birthday, because I\u2019m not happy about that birthday,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt\u2019s a number that I never thought really too much about. It\u2019s not a number I like, but I\u2019m here nonetheless.\u201d<\/p>\n
