Donald Trump discloses daily aspirin routine

Donald Trump has disclosed that he takes a daily dose of aspirin, specifically mentioning a preference for Bayer aspirin. During a rally in Vandalia, Ohio, the 80-year-old stated that he takes a large tablet every day, claiming it thins the blood ‘like crazy’ or ‘the hell out of your blood.’

Trump noted that while he is unsure if the medication is effective, he feels he needs it ‘psychologically.’ He also revealed that he has resisted medical advice to reduce his dosage, telling doctors, ‘I’ve been doing fine for 35 years, leave me alone.’

Medical experts note that while aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) prevents blood clots by blocking an enzyme in platelets, it does not change the actual consistency or flow properties of the blood. A daily 325-milligram dose may be unnecessarily high and potentially dangerous for healthy individuals seeking cardiovascular prevention.
