Trump: "I Take More Aspirin Than Doctors Recommend"

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump revealed that he takes a higher daily dose of aspirin than recommended by his doctors, believing it helps thin his blood and prevent cardiovascular problems. He explained that the higher dose causes bruising on his hand, which he covers with makeup or a bandage. Trump also denied falling asleep during public appearances, stating that he simply closes his eyes to relax. It was confirmed that he underwent a CT scan in October, which showed no abnormalities. The president mentioned that he stopped wearing compression socks prescribed for chronic venous insufficiency because he “didn’t like” them.
