Claim 2: “Trump, 79, Spackles on Hand Makeup for Dinner With the Press”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that Donald Trump, aged 79, attended a dinner with the press is supported by one web search result mentioning an 'awkward White House dinner' where he was aged 79. While other sources mention dinners, the specific combination of age (79) and 'dinner with the press' is only strongly implied by one result. The Wikipedia entries confirm his existence and past roles but do not confirm this specific event or age.
