There are many ways for an 80-year-old man to celebrate his birthday: a quiet brunch with family at home, a voucher for Home Depot. Or maybe, a giant steel octagon called ‘The Claw’ erected on your lawn for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, followed by a high-profile legal dispute.
The brunch route was taken by Joe Biden four years ago, when his wife shared a photograph on her Instagram account of them sharing a coconut cake with their kids and grandchildren. “A perfect birthday celebration filled with so much love,” she wrote at the time.
