Trump Reveals Higher Aspirin Dose for Heart Health, Sparks Debate

  • Donald Trump admits taking 325mg aspirin daily, exceeding the doctor-recommended low-dose of 81mg.
  • He states his reason is to keep his blood "thin" for heart health, a concern confirmed by his physician, Sean Barbabella.
  • Medical experts warn higher aspirin doses increase bleeding risks and require strict medical supervision.
  • Trump's health has been under scrutiny due to visible bruising and brain imaging; a CT scan revealed no abnormalities.
  • His age (79) and health are politically relevant, following predecessor Joe Biden's fitness questions.
