The former president of the United States just celebrated his 78th birthday this last Friday. Born June 14, 1946, Mr. Trump lived in the aftermath of World War II and was raised by parents from America’s Greatest Generation, reports CNN. Donald Trump’s 78th birthday comes just after his historic conviction in the Stormy Daniels bribery affair, which led US prison officials to prepare for his possible incarceration.
Turning 78 has been on Donald Trump’s mind for some time now. Nearly two years ago, he declared to a columnist from New York Post : “Remember what I tell you: 78 years old is not old“. 78 is also the age his opponent Joe Biden, who recently responded to allegations that he is too old to hold office, will be, shortly after winning the 2020 US election.
Donald Trump’s 78th birthday: how do we celebrate it?

Donald Trump, who is at the heart of a new controversy, who is never at a loss for words, appeared speechless in the video as he walked away from the microphone.

Actuary predicts life expectancy of Donald Trump and Joe Biden
While the presidential candidate is busy campaigning, he has often been in the spotlight due to his advanced age and health, as has his opponent Joe Biden, who asked a strange question to Brigitte Macron. The Democratic and Republican candidates for president in 2024 are both from the same generation. Three years apart, Trump is now 78 years old and Biden is 81 years old. Many people have questioned their age and remain concerned about their lifespan. The Daily Beast So asked Scott Witt, a Wisconsin actuary, to calculate their life expectancy. And the results are astonishing!
Mr Witt stressed that the official medical records of both men do not reveal any potential danger to their health and that they are both non-smokers and do not drink alcohol. A set of estimates suggests thatthey both have an excellent chance of surviving for the next five years. Donald Trump and Joe Biden have exceeded the life expectancy of men at the time of their birth and have managed to stay away from death in every other way.

In addition, their family history helps establish the hypothesis of their life expectancy. Joe Biden’s father died at 86 and Donald Trump’s at 93. The mother of Melania Trump’s husband died at 88 and that of the current President of the United States at 92. Mr. Witt explained that there is no specific formula for determining life expectancy without having medical records. However, a healthy man of the age of Donald Trump can expect to live another 14 years and a man Joe Biden’s age can expect to survive another 12 years. In other words, Mr. Trump can live to be 92 and Mr. Biden to 94.
