‘Some birthday’: Trump turns 77 after being serenaded twice as he pleaded not guilty to 37 counts and ranted against 80-year-old Biden – and plans to celebrate the day with family
- Supporters sang “Happy Birthday” at restaurants in Miami and in Bedminster
- Trump would turn 78 on Inauguration Day 2024 – taking oath at age 77

Former President Donald Trump turned 77 hours on Wednesday from his not guilty plea — after revealing that he was very concerned about time during his historic day in federal court.
“Some birthday,” he growled during a brief stopover at Miami’s Versailles Restauarant. “We have a government that is out of control,” Trump said angrily.
He was given a second serenade after flying to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he likes to spend the summer months. Relatives were in attendance — Trump acknowledged son Eric Trump for his own trials in the justice system.
“What they did to my family – and that young man over there. He has responded to more subpoenas than any person in the history of the world,” Trump lamented. ‘And you know what? … That literally means thousands,” Trump said.
A birthday song from a packed audience in Bedminster seemed to lift Trump’s mood a bit.

“Happy birthday huh?” he growled at one point. After recording the song, he said, “Happy birthday. Great Birthday!’
Then he thought about interacting with family as he prepared to blow out the candles when he turned 77 on Wednesday.
‘They say happy birthday, I was just with Eric and Lara and the kids… Happy birthday grandpa. I say oh great – I just got sued, they want about 400 years, if you add it all up. A false 400 years. Oh thank you dear, that’s so nice. Have a wonderful birthday. And we’re going to make it the greatest birthday,” Trump said.
It wasn’t entirely clear how Trump would mark the milestone, though Don Jr.’s wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle, was also spotted in Bedminster, as was Lara Trump.
