US EditionTrump tells WSJ he is taking more aspirin than doctors recommend
Trump takes 325 mg aspirin daily, exceeding doctor recommendations due to a 25-year habit, causing bruising but aiming to prevent heart issues, his physician said.
- In an interview published Thursday, President Donald Trump told The Wall Street Journal he is taking more aspirin than his doctors recommend.
- Trump takes 325 milligrams daily and said, `They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don't want thick blood pouring through my heart`, adding he is `a little superstitious` after 25 years.
- Photos last week showed fresh left-hand discoloration and a right-hand persistent bruise despite makeup, while observers noted ankle swelling and Jonathan Reiner said bruising can be a one-off trauma in older people.
- Medical experts warned that aspirin raises bleeding risk and said the issue now centers more on transparency than medical facts, while Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, said Trump disclosed additional imaging details because he `has nothing to hide`.
- Trump disclosed the procedure was a CT scan, not an MRI, and Sean Barbabella said the results were `perfectly normal and revealed absolutely no abnormalities`; Trump regretted the imaging as it raised health questions.
