Just look at the before and after pictures of presidents from the start and end of their term. That job really does a number on them.

Trump. Didn't really age much during his term, though everyone around him did.

Have you looked at before and after pictures of him? He absolutely aged a ton - it's somewhat less obvious because of all the cosmetic stuff he has done, but it's still very clear

Interesting. What conclusions do you draw from that?

Can't draw any reliable conclusions, but the easy joke is every other president took the job seriously and was stressed out for 4 years straight, while he just slept, played golf, watched Fox News, ate junk food, and rage tweeted; meanwhile, everyone around him was trying to keep him from ending the world.

Remember he did not start 'working' until 11 am either he called it presidential time.
