According to Donald Trump, he could potentially reach the age of 200 if he made healthier dietary choices and avoided consuming excessive amounts of junk food.
At a recent event in New Hampshire, the 77-year-old candidate reflected on remarks made by his former White House doctor, Ronny Jackson, who once stated that if he didn’t consume so much unhealthy food, he could live for 200 years.
Despite reports of his love for Diet Coke, Mr. Trump declared himself to be in good health and told his supporters that he feels as if he is 35 years old. He also stated that he feels mentally 20 years younger than his actual age.
“I have the sensation of being around 35 years old. I currently feel healthier than I did 30 years ago,” stated Mr. Trump.
The ex-president was interviewed by a doubtful journalist about his evaluation of his well-being. He replied, “It’s due to my genetics. Some individuals are fortunate to have good genes.”
Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have received criticism regarding their age, at times from one another and at times from fellow party members, throughout the course of the election.

“I notice a staircase over there, I notice a staircase over there. If necessary, I would leap off this front-end structure – we could successfully make it, as it is approximately four feet tall,” he stated during the gathering.
Earlier this month, Mr. Trump mocked President Biden with a fake advertisement showing the White House as a retirement home where the residents feel like they are presidents.
Despite being only four years younger than the president, Mr. Trump has been subject to inquiries about his age.
