  1. …. Why do people believe him? We can see both his hands are constantly bruised from IVs now. He’s trying to play strong, but he’s being propped up. I wouldn’t doubt he’s on the medication to ease his Alzheimer’s. You think trump would studies that claim to curry that shit and he wouldn’t get on the phone to demand it? Please.

    > “I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense”?

    No, it doesn’t make even a little bit of sense in any way

    But I hope he keeps doing it. Let his blood get as thin as it can get

  3. Maybe he should take even more just to show the doctors how much smarter he is than them? 

  4. daily aspirin use, especially at 4 times the recommended 81mg dosage, can cause bleeding on the brain and brain stroke.

    Leavitt: “The president’s left hand is covered in bruises because he shakes hands with both his right and left hands.”.

    So he would be decreasing his risk of heart attacks and strokes from clotting whilst increasing his risk of strokes from brain hemorrhage….it’s only a matter of time.

    Sounds good to me, man! If one is good, more must be better! Take them all!

    (This advise is for DJT only)

  8. I take the best aspirin. My doctors tell me I should take one every 2-4 hours so I swallow the bottle because I have the most aspirin. Get wrecked libs… -djt

  9. All jokes aside, I swear he said WSJ was fake news like five times this year. Why is he telling them stuff? 🤔

    So he had a stroke and now he’s petrified of having another one and is overcompensating. That’s why he’s bruising so badly, he can’t fucking clot because aspirin is an anti platelet medication.

    Does he realize aspirin is also toxic?

    Also, he likes “thin blood,” so he’d prefer being an elderly hemophiliac? He’s been cut several times while giving handshakes.

    Doesn’t sound healthy to me.
