'Makes No Sense To Me': CNN Doctor Reveals 'Hazard' Of Trump's Health Revelation
HuffPost
Dr. Jonathan Reiner was left baffled by the president's explanation of his medication use.
CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner on Friday said President Donald Trump’s explanation of his aspirin use “makes no sense.”
Trump, 79, told The Wall Street Journal that he has a reason for taking a high dose of the drug against the advice of his doctors and despite the visible bruising it’s caused on his hands.
“I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart,” he told the newspaper. “Does that make sense?”
Reiner said it doesn’t ― noting that blood thinners such as aspirin don’t literally “thin” the blood, as Trump seems to think.
“It’s not like changing something from gumbo to chicken soup,” he said. “It doesn’t make it thinner. It makes you less likely to clot.”
