Individuals - Trump's 78th birthday marks a boat parade.
It's former US President Donald Trump's 78th birthday today. He's spending the weekend in Michigan, where he'll attend a rally organized by an ultraconservative lobby group on Saturday. Fans of the Republican are holding a boat parade in his honor on the same day on Lake St. Clair close to Detroit. However, Trump won't be present at the event on the lake, says local newspaper "Macomb Daily." The organizers anticipate around 1000 boats, tugboats, seaplanes, helicopters, and drones adorned with Trump decorations.
Trump was in the Congressional Quarter of the US Congress on Thursday, a momentous occasion since the violent takeover of the Capitol by his supporters in January 2021. During meetings with different party members in Washington, D.C., the primary political issues in the election year were discussed. Trump received a birthday cake with candles shaped like numbers 45 and 47 from Republican senators. He was America's 45th President and would've been its 47th if re-elected.
Both men over 70 years old, Trump and incumbent Joe Biden, are expected to contest each other in the November election. Biden, who intends to continue as President, is 81 years old. Lately, the press has been circulating negative stories about Biden due to mistakes and pledges from the Democrats. Trump and other Republicans are using these to their advantage.
