Donald Trump 'is happily avoiding thoughts about his age.'
Trump has also been seen on numerous occasions falling asleep during official Cabinet meetings. In addition, the White House announced he was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency last year after he experienced mild swelling in his legs and ankles.
Nonetheless, a source recently dished to People how Trump isn't letting his age stop him from living his best life.
“He has aged in the sense that he rarely sleeps and looks zonked many days, but despite turning 80, he wouldn’t have it any other way,” the insider said. “He has always been a workhorse and hates vacations. He is not a guy to sit on the beach and relax."
“Donald is happily avoiding thoughts about his age and aging,” they added. “He is too busy reveling in his power."
