Trump Sticks to Full Aspirin Dose Against Doctors' AdviceDuring a Thursday NBC News sit-down with Tom Llamas, the 80-year-old Trump said he's taken 325 milligrams of aspirin daily for 30 years, rejecting the recommended 81-milligram low dose despite risks like bleeding. His physician describes his heart health as exceptional for his age, but medical guidelines caution against aspirin for primary prevention in those over 60 due to hemorrhage dangers.
