President Donald Trump turned 80 on June 14, but former Fox News host Tucker Carlson thinks age is one topic Trump prefers not to discuss.

Speaking to The New York Times, Carlson said Trump becomes uncomfortable when conversations turn to growing older, despite the president's packed public schedule and preparations for a UFC event at the White House.

Carlson mentioned that Trump often points to older people he admires when the subject of age comes up, citing retired golfer Gary Player, who is now 90 years old.

Several sources painted a similar picture of a president who is not interested in slowing down, with one source saying Trump is 'happily avoiding thoughts about his age and aging.'

Trump marked his 80th birthday while preparing for a UFC event on the White House South Lawn, becoming one of the few U.S. presidents to celebrate such a milestone while remaining at the center of national politics.
