President Donald Trump, born on June 14, shares his birthday with the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, coinciding with a military parade in Washington D.C. As Trump turns 79, he holds the record for the oldest person to assume the presidency, surpassing his predecessor Joe Biden. Starting his first term at 70 years old in 2017, Trump is among the oldest presidents in history.
The ranking of the five oldest presidents at the time of inauguration includes Trump in both his first and second terms, Biden, Ronald Reagan, and William Henry Harrison. Amidst Trump’s birthday celebrations, protests are expected nationwide against his administration. Organizers anticipate significant peaceful protests, denouncing perceived overreach and abuse by the Trump administration.
On the same day as Trump’s birthday, Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to be celebrated in his North American hometown of Chicago, although he is not expected to attend. The Archdiocese of Chicago plans to broadcast a video message from the Pope at Rate Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. This convergence of events on June 14 highlights a mix of celebrations, protests, and historical milestones, shaping a significant day in American and international contexts.
