Birthday Theory

My theory on the birthday party relates to Trump"s age. Trump is the oldest president to be inaugurated. He has now reached the age of 79, which is the last stop before 80. 80 is old (at least perception) and sounds old. This was his last gasp of youth, albeit at 79. I'm sure the aging playboy dreads the 80 label, and does not welcome next year's milestone. That's why he raced to throw himself a fleeting, pathetic celebration before 80 hits. With cake, candles and the U.S. Army.
