President Donald Trump was seen wearing a pair of eyeglasses on his way back from golfing on Sunday.
Photographers caught the 70-year-old wearing a pair perched on the tip of his nose as he sat in the back of his limousine after another afternoon spent at the Trump National Golf Course in Sterling, Virginia.
The links-friendly president paired the spectacles with his signature Make America Great Again hat.
And though the President does have his own line of stylish men’s glasses – he didn’t appear to be wearing one of his own designs on Sunday.

Trump isn’t normally spotted wearing glasses; in fact the last time he wore them in public was in November 2016 – just after he won the campaign.
However, a source close to the administration tells DailyMail.com that he often wears them in his office and while he is working, then takes them off when cameras come around – suggesting that he does so for vanity’s sake.
Additionally, the source explained that his wearing them probably meant that he was getting some work done during in the car after an afternoon leisurely spent.

Needing glasses wouldn’t be so weird for someone of Trump’s age – as most people need glasses or something else to aid their vision by the time they hit 70
Needing glasses wouldn’t be so weird for someone of Trump’s age – as most people need glasses or something else to aid their vision by the time they hit 70.
In fact, it’s surprising we don’t see him wearing them more often.
During the 2016 presidential campaign he was pictured once wearing them to peruse the New York times.
Another time at the beginning of the campaign he wore them during a speech before the New Hampshire primary. and another time during a Stump Speech when he recited the poem ‘The Snake.’
He also once said during a legal deposition in October 2016 that he couldn’t read a document because he didn’t have his glasses with him – making a comment about how small the writing was.
In many photos Trump is seen squinting – both when he is reading documents and when he is giving speeches – suggesting he needs the glasses much more often than he is pictured wearing them.
While it’s likely that any vision problems are naturally occurring or due to his age – it’s also possible that he’s suffering acute sun damage to his eyes.
Trump watched the solar eclipse through a pair of specialized glasses – but was spotted before he put them on taking a quick peek with his naked eyes.
Pundits quickly took to social media to make jokes at Trump’s expense – many writing that he was trying to outsmart the sun.

When he wasn’t hitting the links on Sunday, President Trump was engaging in an all-out Twitter battle with democratic congresswoman Frederica Wilson.
Wilson has seen her national profile explode in the past week after she said that the President’s remarks to the grieving widow of a soldier killed in the Niger ambush were insensitive.
The 74-year-old said that the President, speaking to Myeshia Johnson over the phone, told her that while it was sad what happened to her husband, that ‘he knew what he signed up for.’
Trump vehemently denied that he ever said that, despite the widow’s confirmation that it was what happened, and has since taken it upon himself to attack the congresswoman.
‘Wacky Congresswoman Wilson is the gift that keeps on giving for the Republican Party, a disaster for Dems. You watch her in action & vote R!’ Trump tweeted Sunday.
