Donald Trump reshares post claiming he ‘gets YOUNGER’ alongside Chinese leader Xi Jinping
As per Donald Trump’s Truth Social post dated May 24, 2026, he reshared an image. It showed him smiling beside Xi Jinping under the headline, “President Trump gets YOUNGER.” Trump captioned it, “President Xi and President Trump are AMAZING!” The post had 3.05K ReTruths and 17K likes. One supporter also commented that the US president looked “so handsome and young.” Meanwhile, a person joked on X, “Trump is still lost in memories, while Xi Jinping keeps receiving guests nonstop…”
The photo appeared to have been taken after Trump’s recent diplomatic trip to China. During that visit, the president met Xi as both countries remained under global scrutiny. However, the Truth Social post focused less on diplomacy and more on optics.
The timing made the post stand out. Trump turns 80 on June 14, making age another backdrop to the post. Trump had previously joked about looking thinner while holding a placard. He told reporters, “I look so thin,” before adding, “You don’t have to look at my waist.” The new post leaned into a more confident tone. It presented Trump as younger-looking beside Xi, while his supporters amplified the claim. The birthday buildup is also expected to include a White House UFC event, which is being promoted as “UFC Freedom 250”.
Earlier, Trump also spoke about the Chinese leader’s height during a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity. He said, “He’s tall, he’s very tall,” while comparing Xi’s listed height with his own.
