Trump says he'd hire a CEO his age. Only a handful of top chief executives are older.

Donald Trump, who turned 78 in June, would be the oldest person in U.S. history to be elected president if he wins in November. The question of age and fitness for office has flared repeatedly this political season, including on Tuesday when one interviewer asked Trump whether he would appoint a CEO his own age.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Trump said he would although with some caveats, noting that he wouldn't hire his former presidential rival, President Joe Biden, 81.
"I know many people in their 80s. I know guys in their 80s that won't leave the company, like family companies where they don't want the kids to take over because they're much more competent than their kids," Trump told his interviewer, Bloomberg editor-in-chief John Micklethwait, at the Economic Club of Chicago on Tuesday.
Washington — Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe told his workforce on Thursday that he is "deeply concerned" about the impact that an independent review panel's findings about the July assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump will have on the agency's morale, according to a copy of the internal message obtained by CBS News.
