Biden became America's oldest president when he took office at age 78 and now expects to turn 82 in November.

During the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April, he criticized Trump.

“Of course age is an issue. I'm a grown man and I'm running against a six-year-old,” he said. “Age is the only thing we have in common; my vice president really has my back!”

The Republican presidential candidate celebrated his birthday with his fan club “Club 47 USA” in West Palm Beach, which cost guests between $35 and $60 to attend.

According to club president Larry Snowden, all 5,000 tickets for the event were sold out although it was unclear what proceeds from the event would be used for.

Congressional Republicans in Washington presented Trump with a cake with 47 candles, showing their hope that he will become the 47th president of the United States in November.
