Overview

• Dr. Aseem Malhotra, now chief medical and scientific adviser to Make Europe Healthy Again, alleges President Trump’s statins and low-dose aspirin are causing fatigue, brain fog, and swollen ankles and are likely shortening his lifespan.
• He plans to air the claim at a European Parliament event and has messaged people in Trump’s inner circle seeking details on the president’s medications.
• The British Heart Foundation and other experts dismiss his assertions as misleading, emphasizing that statins and aspirin are standard treatments when clinically indicated and cautioning patients not to stop therapy without medical advice.
• The Daily Beast reported the remarks, republished by Raw Story, and coverage underscores that the allegations lack independent clinical verification.
• Recent disclosures list Trump on rosuvastatin, ezetimibe, and low-dose aspirin, and after a Walter Reed visit for a COVID-19 booster, Malhotra also questioned the shot’s benefits and raised unproven risk claims.
