Donald Trump turns 78.

The former American president and Republican candidate , who   has made Joe Biden's advanced age one of the main points of reference of his electoral campaign, today he is "getting closer" to his opponent, who is three and a half years older.

Almost every day his entourage posts videos of Biden stumbling or stuttering, looking tired or appearing disoriented at public events. However, the tycoon also shows signs of aging: In recent months, he has confounded the leaders of Turkey and Hungary , warned that the world was heading for a Second - not a Third - World War and called the cinematic serial killer Hannibal Lecter a "wonderful man".

And even if on Sunday, at the end of a rally in Las Vegas, when someone tried to hum "Happy Birthday", the president stopped him by stating seraphically: «The moment comes when you don't want to hear it, you just want to pretend that that day doesn't exist", we are still preparing to celebrate it with a big party in Florida . “Join us in celebrating the birthday of the greatest president ever,” the invitation reads, asking guests to come dressed in the colors of – what else? - the American flag.

Meanwhile, Trump has decided to return to Congress for the first time since the assault to rally Republicans and ask for their help in overturning New York's conviction for payments to porn star Stormy Daniels : two informal meetings with deputies and senators, in a few steps from Capitol Hill, to offer an olive branch to the "traitors" of the Grand old party who voted in favor of his impeachment and to regroup the party in view of the July convention in Milwaukee. The tycoon brought a peace offering to the deputies who voted to impeach him after the attack on January 6, an important turning point for him who, since the vote of the first impeachment in 2021, has never spared harsh attacks against the ten infidel republicans. He then addressed some crucial issues of this electoral campaign such as abortion, regarding which he reiterated that he is in favor of it being an issue entrusted to the States and above all he asked his people to insist on attacking the Democrats, accusing them of being "extremists".
