Donald Trump caught wearing reading glasses in rare moment
President Donald Trump was captured wearing reading glasses – a look that he has seemingly avoided in public. Trump, 79, was photographed with the glasses on while sitting in a motorcade SUV while leaving Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, after playing a round on Sunday. A photographer based in Northern Virginia snapped the photos of Trump sporting black rim glasses and looking down while on the right backseat of the Chevrolet Suburban presidential vehicle. The president also donned a cream Make America Great Again hat and a white golf shirt. It is believed to be the first time Trump has been pictured wearing glasses during his second term. Trump is the oldest US president to be elected to a second term and has downplayed his age. More Trending The photographer, Northern Virginia Police Cars, posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday: 'President Donald J. Trump departs Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia following a round of golf with CIA Director John Radcliffe and Senators Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, and Eric Schmitt.' Trump was reading the paper, according to the photographer. In November 2019, The New York Times reported that Trump avoids wearing reading glasses in public and usually did not write his own tweets. Trump's then-Whit House social media director, Dan Scavino, would draft tweets and enlarge them for the president to review and approve to publish, according to the newspaper. Trump was last pictured wearing glasses in October 2017 as he left Trump National Golf Course, and prior to that in January 2016 while on the campaign trail in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Donald Trump Spotted Wearing Glasses
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump was spotted wearing reading glasses in his motorcade over the weekend, a rare sighting of the president who reportedly avoids using them in public. A photographer based in Northern Virginia captured the images and shared them on X, formerly Twitter. According to the photographer, the photos show Trump departing Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, on Sunday, a day after a round of golf. Why It Matters Trump, 79, who was the oldest president ever elected to a second term, has long been known to be very careful and savvy with his public image. While it isn't uncommon for somebody his age to require glasses, there are few publicly available photos of Trump wearing glasses during his presidency. Sunday's images appear to mark the first such instance during his second term. What To Know President Donald Trump was spotted wearing reading glasses on June 29, 2025, as he departed Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. President Donald Trump was spotted wearing reading glasses on June 29, 2025, as he departed Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. Supplied/NorthernVirginiaPoliceCars "President Donald J. Trump departs Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia following a round of golf with CIA Director John Radcliffe and Senators Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, and Eric Schmitt," professional police, fire, & EMS photographer, Northern Virginia Police Cars, posted on X on Sunday. "POTUS is seen reading the paper in the back of his newer low-profile Suburban." USA Today reported that Trump had played golf with the senators and Radcliffe before a Senate vote to debate the "Big Beautiful Bill." The images show the president wearing his reading glasses, a white shirt, and a cream-colored "Make America Great Again" cap while seated in the back of the Chevrolet Suburban presidential limousine. While it's unclear what he is reading from the photos, the president, according to a New York Times report in November 2019, has refrained from using reading glasses in front of others and rarely writes tweets himself in public. Instead, then White House social media director Dan Scavino would draft and send tweets on Trump's behalf, often enlarging printed drafts to extra-large fonts for the president to review and approve. One single-page article reportedly expanded to six pages once the font was enlarged to suit Trump's preferences. Sunday's sighting marks what appears to be the first time in years—and the first during Trump's second term—that he has been publicly photographed wearing reading glasses. He was also pictured in October 2017 wearing glasses while on his way back from the Trump National Golf Course. Before that, in January 2016, he wore glasses while campaigning in Cedar Falls, Iowa, as he read the lyrics to an song released by Al Wilson called "The Snake." What People Are Saying The images drew attention on social media. Some reactions on X included: "Has ANYONE seen him in glasses before?" "One of the few times I ever saw him with glasses on in public was his first 'The Snake' speech in Jan. 2016. I thought they looked good on him but he probably sees them as a sign of weakness." "GLASSES?!? I've often wondered if he wore one." "Rare glasses form." What Happens Next According to Trump's public schedule, he's due to sign executive orders in the Oval Office Monday afternoon.
