President Donald Trump Spotted Wearing Reading Glasses in Virginia Motorcade
President Donald Trump, known for rarely wearing glasses in public, was recently photographed wearing reading glasses while riding in a motorcade after playing golf at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. At 79, Trump is the oldest elected president and is set to become the oldest sitting president by 2028, and while it is common for someone his age to need reading glasses, public sightings of him wearing them are uncommon. Historical reports note Trump has 20/30 vision corrected to 20/20 with reading glasses and underwent cataract surgery, but he often avoids glasses publicly, possibly to maintain his youthful and strong image. Past sightings of Trump with glasses were few, including during his 2016 campaign and early first term, and he has avoided using glasses for phone use or public reading, sometimes having aides enlarge text for him. The recent photos prompted mixed online reactions, with some expressing empathy for his age and others poking fun at the rarity of the sight. Trump’s image-consciousness regarding his appearance, particularly avoiding glasses that might make him seem older or weaker, has been noted alongside his long-standing effort to present a vigorous persona while managing his health transparently.
