Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for president. Soon enough, he’ll be getting classified intelligence briefings — in case he (somehow) gets elected in November.

If Hillary Clinton can finally close the deal on the Democratic nomination, we will have a truly historic election in 2016. Hillary would be the first female president in American history, and also one of the oldest. Trump, meanwhile, would smash a number of glass ceilings if elected.
Here are four ways a Donald Trump presidency would be historic:
Oldest in history
Donald Trump, who will celebrate his 70th birthday next month, would be the oldest person to become president in American history. Ronald Reagan, who currently holds the title, was just a few days shy of 70 when he took the oath of office in January 1981. Trump has him beat by more than six months. Hillary Clinton will turn 69 in October.
First Wharton grad
We’ve already had a couple of white Yale Law grads in the White House, so a Hillary Clinton presidency wouldn’t actually be that historic. Trump, however, graduated from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, an institution through which no other U.S. president has passed.
First WWE Hall of Famer
No major political party has ever nominated a presidential candidate who is also a member of the WWE pro wrestling Hall of Fame.

Trump is also (presumably) the first presidential nominee who has shaved another man’s head on television.
First to use “schlong” (as a verb) in public
With the possible exception of Rutherford B. Hayes, Trump would be the first American president to have not only uttered the word “schlong” in public but also to have used it as a verb.9

During a campaign rally in Michigan last year, Trump discussed the 2008 Democratic primary and how Hillary Clinton got “schlonged” by Barack Obama. “Schlong” is vulgar Yiddish word used to describe the male genitalia.
