Donald Trump has bizarre excuse after being accused of falling asleep in public meetings
During a cabinet meeting broadcast nationwide last month, Trump claimed he was “sharper than I was 25 years ago,” yet cameras showed him appearing drowsy for much of the session that followed.
Health concerns have circulated for months, and Trump addressed them directly in the interview. He attributed the bruising on his hands to taking aspirin as a blood thinner—at a level far above standard medical recommendations.
“They say aspirin thins the bl00d,” he explained.
Trump said he takes roughly four times the typical dose, admitting the choice is partly driven by superstition. He also noted that his skin has become more fragile with age, recalling an incident at the 2024 Republican National Convention when Attorney General Pam Bondi accidentally cut his hand while high-fiving him, her ring catching his skin.
