President Donald Trump was overheard expressing his feelings of aging after his son mentioned his upcoming 80th birthday, as reported by a lip reader. The conversation took place during the LIV Golf tournament at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, DC, where Trump and his son Eric were observed behind bulletproof glass discussing the topic of Trump’s age.
In the conversation, Trump mentioned his son remarking, “Dad, you know you’re going to be 80 years old,” which made him feel old. Trump then tried to uplift the mood by mentioning, “You’re only as old as you feel, right?” while playfully gesturing at Eric.
Furthermore, Trump’s height became a topic of online discussion as viewers noticed his son Eric appeared taller than him during the LIV Golf Virginia event. While Eric is listed at just over 6ft 4in, Trump is said to be around 6ft 3in. However, in the footage, Trump appeared noticeably shorter than his son, sometimes needing to tilt his head upwards to meet Eric’s gaze.
Social media users quickly questioned Trump’s height, with one user pointing out the apparent height difference between Eric and Trump. Despite the height speculation, Trump received a warm welcome at the event held at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.
In other news, the future of the LIV Golf tournament has been a hot topic in the golf community following reports that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund plans to withdraw financial support after the 2026 season. LIV is actively seeking new investors to ensure the league’s sustainability amid concerns raised by golf star Rory McIlroy about the competitiveness of LIV players if they do not return to the PGA Tour.
