[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] The drastically changed recent appearance of former U.S. President Donald Trump (75) has been revealed.

According to the New York Post on the 9th, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of former President Trump, recently shared a photo of Trump on his Instagram, saying, "My father's recent look, he looks younger."

The photo he posted shows former President Trump smiling brightly. Compared to his time in office, he looks noticeably younger and has lost weight.

Along with the photo, Trump Jr. added, "Here are some truths. He dealt with problems about 1,000 times more troublesome than any other president in history, which caused him stress. Other presidents wouldn't be able to handle that and would age 20 years overnight."

He continued, "It's true that stress accelerates aging," indicating that stress had a negative impact on Trump.

In response to this news, American conservative commentator Jack Posobiec posted the photo on his Twitter, wondering, "How did he get so young?"

On the other hand, Newsweek viewed the photo as a 'Photoshop' effect. The outlet pointed out that former President Trump has often targeted President Joe Biden (78), who is three years older than him, in his criticisms. In fact, a former Trump aide once submitted an op-ed to a British media outlet criticizing Biden as "too old to serve as president."

This is interpreted as a deliberate attempt to emphasize youthfulness in awareness of Biden, the oldest president in U.S. history.

Netizens who saw Trump's recent photo reacted with comments such as "Even if it's Photoshop, he definitely looks younger," "Did he get Botox on his face?" and "Stress does accelerate aging."

Meanwhile, former President Trump has been actively engaged in political activities recently, including issuing statements criticizing President Biden's decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
