4. Doesn't seem too far outside of normal aging after seven years of middle age. Sure...

...the stress and pressure of office has contributed to the grey and the lines, but otherwise normal aging from age 47 to 54+ is what I see. I'm only 3 years the president's junior and seeing the same rate of aging, and I'm not president.

their late forties to mid-fifties.
