A top cardiologist isn’t buying the rationale behind President Donald Trump’s high-dosage aspirin regimen.
Jonathan Reiner, CNN’s medical analyst and Dick Cheney’s former heart doctor, said Trump’s theory that aspirin prevents him from having “thick” blood “makes no sense,” and questioned why the 79-year-old president doesn’t take his own doctors’ advice to pop a lower dosage.
In a candid interview with The Wall Street Journal about his health, Trump revealed that he has refused to follow his doctors’ advice to take a lower dose of aspirin because he has been taking it for 25 years. Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Sean Barbabella, said Trump takes 325 milligrams of aspirin per day.
