Many 79-year-old men aren’t exactly eager to show off what they’re working with below the knee.
Donald Trump, per usual, is an exception.
Speaking at the White House on Aug. 22, the president boasted about the appearance of his lower legs.
“I look extremely good in shorts,” he said, responding to a question about whether he plans to participate in the FIFA World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center in December.
“I may try and play,” he joked, prompting laughs from a crowd gathered in the Oval Office. “I’m a very good athlete.”
Whether the president’s calf muscles are as toned as he claims is a tough thing to fact-check: He doesn’t usually show much skin. He golfs often, but typically wearing long pants.
There is, however, an infamous photo snapped in 2000 of then-citizen Trump playing tennis in shorts. The image has generated countless internet memes.
