  • 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.
