Staff Reports
Former President Donald Trump isn’t letting anyone rain on his parade, especially not over his age. At a rally in New Hampshire, the 77-year-old Trump shut down rumors about his age getting in the way of his ability to lead. He made it clear that there’s a “big difference” between 77 and 80, a jab at those who might be trying to use his age against him.
Trump didn’t stop there. He even flexed his mental muscles, boasting about his strong mind at 77, claiming it’s even better than it was 25 years ago. The crowd, no doubt, was eating up every word.

But the age drama doesn’t stop with Trump. Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley took a swipe at Trump’s age, hinting that he might not be cut out for the presidency due to his mental state. She tossed shade at Trump while also defending herself against allegations that she failed to secure the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Now, it’s no surprise that Trump’s political opponents are seizing on his age, trying to draw parallels between him and President Biden, who is 81. Even Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has joined in on the age attacks, spearheading efforts to make Trump’s age a focal point. But Trump isn’t backing down – not one bit. Watch out, folks, because he’s not going down without a fight.
