Trump Claims Perfect Health, Aces Cognitive Test

Trump Claims Perfect Health, Aces Cognitive Test

Donald Trump, who is 79 years old, said doctors have declared him in 'perfect health' and that he scored 100% on a cognitive test.

He wants all candidates for president and vice president to take such tests.

Trump also takes more aspirin every day than his doctors say he should.

He wants to keep his blood thin to help his heart.

The usual amount of aspirin for older people is 81 milligrams, but Trump takes 325 milligrams.

Some people have noticed bruises on his hands, but the White House says that's because he shakes a lot of hands.

Trump also had a special scan called a CT scan, not an MRI, and it showed nothing wrong with his heart.

Trump is the second-oldest president ever, after Joe Biden, who was 82 when he left office.

Trump's doctor says he is in 'exceptional health,' but some other doctors say older people should be careful with aspirin because it can cause bleeding.
