President Donald Trump Says He Takes 1 Aspirin Per Day Because ‘Psychologically I Need It’
Trump said he has taken the higher dose for decades and rejected doctors’ advice to switch to a lower 81-milligram tablet.
- On Saturday, October 3, President Donald Trump told supporters at a Vandalia, Ohio rally he takes a daily 325-milligram aspirin, claiming he needs the regimen "psychologically" despite medical advice to reduce the dose.
- Doctors have recommended Trump switch to an 81-milligram dose, but he rejected this guidance for 35 years, insisting "I've been doing okay for 35 years" and describing the larger tablet as a "monster."
- During the rally, Trump expressed confusion regarding his medication, referring to his dose as both 325 milligrams and "386" while praising Bayer aspirin as the "little yellow" pill.
- The president congratulated pharmaceutical giant Bayer on its recently announced plan to open a $2.2 billion manufacturing facility near Columbus, Ohio, noting his brand preference.
- Medical experts note that Trump's comments do not establish the health benefits of his current regimen, and his doctors have not publicly discussed the specifics of his care.
