Axios reports:
Former President Trump, 77, said he isn’t concerned that he’d be in his 80s if re-elected during an interview for Kristen Welker’s debut on as moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“No, because my father lived much longer than that [age 93]. My mother lived much longer than that [age 88]. So genetically, that’s a good thing,” Trump said in an interview taped Thursday in Bedminster, N.J. — his first broadcast-network interview since leaving office.
Trump is just a few years younger than President Biden, 80, and has avoided criticizing Biden’s age. Trump made a similar assertion earlier in the week during an interview with Megyn Kelly in which he said Biden is “not too old” to be president — but that he’s “incompetent.”
