Trump for his part says he feels “very torn” about his birthday.
At a rally in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday, supporters broke into a chorus of “Happy Birthday,” but Trump waved them off with a laugh, saying, “I don’t want to hear about it.”
“I feel like I’m 35,” he added. “That’s the good news.”
Trump celebrated his 70th birthday on Tuesday by filling his Twitter feed with colorful balloons. Supporters like conservative commentator Ann Coulter and video bloggers Diamond and Silk also took to Twitter to wish him a happy birthday.

But more often than not, the mogul’s birthday served as the butt of jokes from his critics on social media.
Bill Mahar wished Trump a “Happy Birther Day” with a mocking video.

And Star Trek actor George Takei couldn’t resist taking this shot at the birthday boy:
“Today is Trump’s 70th birthday, which goes to show you can live a very long time and still learn basically nothing.”
