Trump Defends Fitness in WSJ Interview, Citing Years of Higher-Dose Aspirin

A recent CT scan showed no cardiovascular problems, with the White House saying he remains fully able to work.

Overview

  • The president said he is healthy and rejected claims he naps in public, describing moments with closed eyes as relaxation.
  • He acknowledged long-term daily aspirin use at a higher-than-recommended dose and said he has declined advice to cut back.
  • Trump said he uses makeup or bandages to conceal bruises on his hand and described a minor cut from a high-five with Justice Secretary Pam Bondi.
  • His physician clarified the recent imaging was a CT scan rather than an MRI and reported no cardiovascular abnormalities.
  • Officials reiterated he is in excellent health, as ongoing observations of bruising, swollen ankles, and drooping eyelids continue to draw scrutiny, with Mehmet Oz reporting no signs of cognitive impairment.
