Biden offers tongue-in-cheek birthday greeting to Trump

Dogged by age issue, president, 81, is now highlighting Trump’s many peculiarities, from hair style to Bible sales

Joe Biden extended a sarcastic birthday greeting to Donald Trump on Friday, noting that age is simply a number. While Trump turned 78, Biden, who is 81, emphasized that his age has been an asset in his presidency.

Trump, conversely, has been criticized for his lack of focus and coherence by CEOs, who have found him to be disorganized and unclear. Amidst concerns about their ages, both Biden and Trump have agreed to a televised debate with strict rules to ensure a respectful and controlled discussion.

Biden's campaign has shifted its strategy, acknowledging concerns about his age but framing it as a strength. Trump has expressed reluctance about acknowledging his age and has called for presidents to undergo aptitude tests.

Despite their age differences, both Biden and Trump have been actively campaigning and fundraising. While Biden focuses on raising funds with celebrities in Los Angeles, Trump seeks support from diverse groups in Michigan.
