Trump Reveals Taking Higher Aspirin Dose Than Doctors Recommend
- •Donald Trump told the WSJ he takes 325mg of aspirin daily, exceeding doctor recommendations, for "thinning out the blood."
- •His doctor, Sean Barbabella, confirmed the dosage is for cardiac prevention.
- •Trump's health has been under scrutiny due to hand bruises and public instances of closing his eyes.
