Donald Trump will turn 80 in June, yet speculation about his health continues to follow him. The U.S. president maintains a schedule that many younger people would likely find exhausting — traveling across the country for appearances, handling long days at the White House and keeping up an unusually intense daily rhythm.
What stands out most is that Trump has repeatedly claimed he needs very little sleep. Combined with his well-known love of cola and unconventional eating habits, his lifestyle hardly resembles a traditional health plan.

Donald Trump Still Reportedly Drinks Large Amounts of Cola
One of Trump’s most famous habits remains his love of Diet Coke. During his first term in office, reports claimed he drank up to twelve cans a day. Although he is now also said to drink more water, the silver cans are still reportedly a regular part of his routine, according to “Hello!”.
Trump has also long been open about his food preferences. He favors well-done steaks and protein-heavy meals. At the same time, the White House kitchen has reportedly shifted somewhat in 2026, with a greater focus on organic vegetables and fewer artificial colorings.
Donald Trump Reportedly Sleeps Only a Few Hours a Night
While doctors generally recommend around eight hours of sleep, Trump has repeatedly said he functions on far less. Former White House physician Ronny Jackson once explained, according to “Hello!”: “I would say he sleeps four to five hours a night. It’s probably been that way his whole life. He’s just one of those people who doesn’t need much sleep.”
Trump himself has said he typically goes to bed around 1 a.m. and wakes up again at about 5 a.m. Instead of staying in bed longer, he reportedly spends the early hours reading newspapers, watching television and eating breakfast.
Golf Instead of the Gym
A traditional fitness routine has never been a major part of Trump’s lifestyle. Regular gym sessions reportedly play little role in his day-to-day life. Instead, he spends significant time golfing — an activity that still involves hours of walking during a full 18-hole round.
Trump once joked about his attitude toward exercise, saying: “I train that much, so about a minute a day, tops. If I’m lucky,” according to “Hello!”.
Donald Trump Completely Avoids Alcohol
One aspect of Trump’s lifestyle that consistently stands out is his complete avoidance of alcohol. Despite countless state dinners, receptions and official celebrations over the years, he has repeatedly stated that he has never consumed alcohol.
There have also been visible physical changes in recent years. According to medical reports, Trump lost nearly 10 kilograms between his first and second terms in office. It is also publicly known that he suffers from chronic venous insufficiency, a condition in which blood from the legs no longer flows efficiently back toward the heart and can accumulate in the lower extremities.
