Donald Trump once claimed he could live to 200 if he stopped one thing

Donald Trump once claimed he could live to the age of 200 if he gave up one thing in his life.

Earlier this year, the former president headed to the stage for a New Hampshire rally on ahead of the primary elections.

During the speech in January, he made a bizarre claim that he could have made it to 200 if he changed his lifestyle, adding that he currently feels around 35 years old.

"Cognitively, I'm better now than I was 20 years ago," he claimed.

Trump was questioned by a sceptical reporter over his health claims, to which he responded: "It’s called genetics. Some people have great genes."

Trump then went on to share what a former White House physician allegedly told him about his life span.

Ronny Jackson, a Texas congressman, said if Trump "didn't eat so much junk food" then he'd "be around for 200 years".

It comes after reports suggested Trump dropped around 30 pounds and is staying away from buffets at his Florida club Mar-a-Lago, a source claimed to Page Six.

The source reportedly said that his wife Melania has been by his side to help with his eating habits and that "Trump has not been seen scarfing down ice cream sundaes or chocolate cake with two scoops of vanilla ice cream on it”.

"I am pleased to report that President Trump's overall health is excellent," Trump's physician, New Jersey’s Dr. Bruce Aronwald wrote in November 2023. "Trump has reduced his weight through an improved diet and continued daily physical activity while maintaining a rigorous schedule."
