Under "Early actions", I would like to add the fact that Trump was the oldest person in US history to be sworn in as president. This appears quiet significant. The same has been done on [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]]'s page. My proposal can be seen below:
70 years old at the time, he became the [[List of presidents of the United States by age|oldest person to assume the U.S. presidency]], surpassing [[Ronald Reagan]] who took office at age 69 [[First inauguration of Ronald Reagan|in 1981]]; this ranking would at age 78 be passed on to Joe Biden [[Inauguration of Joe Biden|in 2021]].

:Have we the same written about Reagan (nearly 70, in January 1981) & before that W. Harrison (68, in March 1841)? Kinda irrelevant trivia, since Biden (passed 78, in January 2021) too office. [[User:GoodDay|GoodDay]] ([[User talk:GoodDay|talk]]) 14:33, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
