US President Donald Trump stated in a Wall Street Journal interview that he takes 325 milligrams of aspirin daily, a higher dose than doctors typically recommend, to thin his blood. His physician, Sean Barbabella, confirmed the dosage for cardiac prevention. This disclosure comes amid recent public attention on Trump's health, including visible bruising on his hands and a CT scan, which the White House attributed to frequent handshaking and preventative measures, respectively. Medical experts note that while daily aspirin can aid older adults, higher doses may increase bleeding risks.
