Trump Swears Thin Blood Is His Heart's Tinder Swipe Strategy
KEY POINTS
- •Trump explained Thursday to the Wall Street Journal that he takes 325 mg of aspirin daily for 'cardiac prevention' despite doctor advice to cut back.
- •He insists on the higher dose due to superstition, wanting 'nice, thin blood pouring through my heart' to avoid thick blood problems.
- •At the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Pam Bondi's ring accidentally caught his hand, causing bruising that now requires makeup.
In a potty-mouthed hour of medical wisdom leaked through the Wall Street Journal on a Thursday no less, 79-year-old former president Donald Trump admitted to chugging a hefty 325 milligrams of aspirin daily—much more than his doctor recommends—to keep his blood 'nice and thin,' not unlike a Manhattan cocktail. This cardiac prevention strategy doubles as his personal superstition, because heaven forbid his blood gets thick and starts playing clog-the-plumbing. Adding to the mayhem, during Milwaukee's 2024 Republican National Convention, Attorney General Pam Bondi's ring inflicted a battle wound on his hand, prompting Trump to now slap on makeup to cover the ‘RNC-rough’ war paint—his official campaign trail souvenir.
