Just days before his birthday, Trump told Dr Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, that turning 80 was not something he was looking forward to.
"You don't have to wish me happy birthday because I'm not happy about that birthday that I'm having," Trump said, the USA Today reported.
"That's a number that I never thought really too much about. It's not a number I like, but I'm here, nevertheless," he added. The comments came during a conversation in the Oval Office on June 11, which was also Oz's 66th birthday.
White House transformed into UFC arena
However, Trump is celebrating the occasion by hosting a massive Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event on the White House grounds, turning the presidential residence into a temporary mixed martial arts arena.
