Donald Trump turns 80 on Sunday, making him the oldest person to have ever held the presidential position by the end of his second term in 2028. According to experts, American men who are 80 today will, on average, live to be almost 89 years old. Magali Barbieri, co-director of the Human Mortality Database, thinks Trump's medical and economic profile suggests he will live longer than that, into his 90s.
Trump's wealth and lack of smoking and drinking habits are factors that contribute to his expected longevity. However, caveats abound, and anything could happen to Trump. Demographer Elizabeth Wrigley-Field notes that of men who make it to 80, 11 percent will die by age 82, or a bit less than 18 percent by age 83.
Despite speculation about Trump's health, experts say he appears to be able to keep working and is not someone who appears to be unwell. As an ER doctor, Jeremy Faust says, 'He's a guy who is 80 years old and is able to keep working and is able to spend most of his time doing whatever he calls “work.”'
