Trump takes 325mg aspirin daily for 25 years to thin blood and prevent clots, exceeding common 81mg despite bruising risks. Mayo Clinic endorses 75-325mg for heart/stroke prevention in aging but cautions bleeding hazards. Superstitious after decades, he ignores doctor preferences for lower doses.
Medical scans and lifestyle choices
He clarified October’s Walter Reed CT scan, not MRI, ruled out cardiovascular problems, per Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella affirming “exceptional health.”
Diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, Trump skipped compression socks (“didn’t like them”) but now stands more to reduce leg swelling. Exercise bores him beyond golf: “Treadmill for hours? Not me.”
Addressing aging scrutiny
Trump dismisses dozing allegations (relaxing blinks), hearing issues, hand bruising (carries quick makeup). Irritated by health debates, “25th time”, he preempted a WSJ story via impromptu call. Predecessor Biden withdrew post-2024 debate amid similar age concerns.
