Trump Sticks to Full Aspirin Dose Against Doctors' Advice

During a Thursday NBC News sit-down with Tom Llamas, the 80-year-old Trump said he's taken 325 milligrams of aspirin daily for 30 years, rejecting the recommended 81-milligram low dose despite risks like bleeding. His physician describes his heart health as exceptional for his age, but medical guidelines caution against aspirin for primary prevention in those over 60 due to hemorrhage dangers.

Trump: I take aspirin, and I don't want to change

Q: So you go against your doctor's orders?

Trump: I want that blood to be nice and thin running through my heart





...who am I to argue with this? If Trump wants to bring on hemorrhagic bleeding, I'm all for it.
