Donald Trump, at 79 years old, is a grandfather of 11 and eligible for Social Security. Despite his reluctance to show vulnerability, a recent image has revealed something unexpected: his use of reading glasses.
A photo circulating on social media shows Trump in a presidential vehicle, wearing a white polo and a “MAGA” hat. His focus is on his lap, and he is wearing black reading glasses. This unexpected image has sparked interest, as he has rarely been seen using them.
Comments quickly followed. One user noted, “He’ll never wear glasses in public; he sees it as a sign of weakness.” Others commented on his large-print notes and his reluctance to wear glasses due to vanity.
The timing of this image coincides with an event on September 23, where Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly was printed in oversized text. This fueled speculation about his vision challenges.
Recently, a close-up shot of Trump revealed makeup lines, sparking further discussion. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie once observed Trump applying his own makeup, which he declined to try.
Trump’s apparent drowsiness during meetings has also drawn attention. Videos have shown him with his eyes closed, leading to speculation about his energy levels. The White House insisted he was “listening attentively.”
Trump has long believed that the human body has a finite amount of energy, likening it to a battery. This belief has resurfaced in light of his public appearances.
The image of Trump with reading glasses challenges the persona he has cultivated over the years. Despite efforts to maintain his image, the reality of aging is undeniable, even for presidents.
