“They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”

Not particularly, no

If he's been taking aspirin for 25 years, wouldn't it be hard on his body to stop? I'm really curious.

That's because it was aspirine, not tylenol, duh!

Source: am autistic, and mom took tylenol when she was pregnant. I don't think it's a coincidence.

It is ok you don't think it's a coincidence. Your beliefs don't change reality.

Abruptly stopping it could lead to clots forming, so you have to lower the dose over time. But at Trump's age it's either he dies from a clot or a hemorrhage and I guess his doctors decided that a hemorrhage is the lower risk.

Also there's still ongoing research but apparently according to some studies aspirin may not even do anything for cardiovascular prevention.

Aspirin is no longer universally recommended for daily use in healthy adults for primary prevention (preventing a first heart attack/stroke) because recent research shows the risk of bleeding (especially in the gut or brain) often outweighs the minimal benefits, particularly for those over 60, though it's still crucial for secondary prevention (after a first event). Guidelines now suggest healthy people aged 40-59 should discuss it with a doctor, while those 60+ should not start it for primary prevention, emphasizing that risks increase with age. 

Could be that Trump had a heart attack or stroke already, which could have happened before he was president, and they are using it for secondary prevention.

IMO, he had a couple of mini-strokes. He had that look and mouth droop. They covered his mouth with a microphone once in a video, it was fucking hilarious. It moved with his mouth like it was trying to force itself on him. He looks fine now though.

It's inaccurate that it doesn't do anything. What you posted doesn't say that, it says the risks outweigh the benefits - not that the benefits don't exist.

Aspirin absolutely lowers the effort exerted by your cardiovascular system, specifically your myocardial tissue, by preventing blood platelet aggregation.

But as what you cited noted, that means it also inhibits clotting, the risks of which they've understandably determined outweigh the benefits.

I’ve got an advance copy, below.

::: spoiler Spoiler TRUMP IS A FAT PIECE OF SHIT WHO SHOULD’VE DIED YEARS AGO BUT IS LIKE A COCKROACH. :::

He's still talking about his "good genetics", FFS.

I've always found in my personal life that people that talk about their "good genetics" are typically some of the very worst of assholes. This experience seems to map very well onto Taco.

Stephen Miller is in charge anyway. The best thing that could happen is Trump dies and everyone who is left is so repulsive even to MAGAts that MAGA falls apart.

Peewee Himmler may be in charge, but Trump is the only thing keeping the movement from imploding; it's already beginning to crack. The infighting will be all consuming after that glorious day.

28

He dies, the american midterm elections in november will thus not go as planned, vance bombs the Vatican.

Hopefully right after the elections but before January. That way he'll live long enough to get to watch the GOP lose congress and several state legislatures/governorships (because of his uncountable failures, terrible policies, attempted treasonous autocratic takeover, and just being a fucking vile excuse for a human being) but not long enough to make JD president for less than half a term because that means he could only ever serve one more. Assuming that JD himself isn't impeached and convicted and removed from office.

The celebrations will be epic, but this shit doesnt end with him. Citzen united must be un-done and billionaires need to be taken down many, many pegs.

You better believe I’ll make decorations, and throw a party every single year going forward. I have never hated someone so much, and I’ve never even met the pos.

Wait, I thought this was "the most transparent presidency [1] EVAR" according to lying liars like Karoline Leavitt?

Why all this concern about, uh, being transparent by releasing medical info?

[1] This stupid bitch seems to think that Taco being a total whore for the cameras and therefore talks to a compliant set of stenographers nearly every day, lying right to their faces, or holding Stalinist style Party meetings cabinet meetings where members of his cabinet take turns glazing Taco for the cameras is being "transparent". In other words, she and her cult seem to want others to adopt a very curious definition for the word "transparent".

Four aspirin. Subscribing to that conservative feels-before-reals concept of “if a little isn’t doing the job, double and triple down and do it harder.”
