Trump was born June 14, 1946, so he turned 80 on June 14, 2026 and was 80 on the claim's date of 2026-10-16. The claim matches the post's wording, and the 2024 Full Fact piece giving his age as 78 predates the 2026 birthday, so it does not contradict it.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

President Trump is 80 years old, and, you know, like Steve, I mean, he's been a very successful, he's older than Steve. However, this guy gave up, walked away from everything he knows. He's gonna be a political target. Well, what would you base that on? …
