If I’m lucky.’\n\nThe POTUS has previously let it slip publicly that he is not the biggest fan of physical exertion – unless it is golf.\n\nAccording to a 2017 New Yorker profile, he reportedly considers exercise as misguided and that people should not strain their ‘battery’ too much.\n\nAt the same time, Trump has previously advised Americans to sleep as little as possible.\n\nDonald Trump is known as a fanatic golfer, and he often heads to the course when visiting Scotland, where he owns Trump Turnberry and Trump International Golf Links (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nIn his 2004 book, Trump claimed he sleeps around four hours a night.\n\nInstead of sleep, his number one fuel may be Diet Coke.\n\nThe president has admitted to guzzling down several fizzy drinks daily, along with copious amounts of fast food.\n\nRumours have swirled around Trump’s physical and mental health.\n\nTrump’s lifestyle appears to be in stark contrast to King Charles, who is a fan of a regular fitness routine and brisk walks (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nEarlier this year, mysterious bruises appeared on his hands, followed by swollen ankles during his trip to Florida over the weekend.\n\nThen there are the social media outbursts and rants on Truth Social.\n\nLast month, Trump called Bruce Springsteen a ‘dried up prune’ at the height of the conflict with Iran.\n\nA couple of days later, he posted an expletive-riddled rant over the Strait of Hormuz situation.\n\nTargeted at Iran, he said: ‘Open the F***in’ Strait, you crazy b******s, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!’\n\nTrump will turn 80 on June 14.
