Event Summary

Donald Trump, 79, disclosed in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that he takes a higher daily dose of Aspirin (325 milligrams) than recommended by his doctors, attributing visible bruising on his hands to this regimen. His physician, Sean Barbabella, confirmed the dosage and stated that Donald Trump remains in 'exceptional health.' Donald Trump also clarified that a medical scan in October was a CT scan, not an MRI, performed to rule out cardiovascular issues, with 'perfectly normal' results. He also discussed his disinterest in wearing compression socks for chronic venous insufficiency and in regular exercise, describing it as 'boring.' The revelations have intensified scrutiny over Donald Trump's age and fitness for office, drawing parallels to his past questioning of Joe Biden's health.
