Trump Reveals Personal Habits, Disagreements with Doctors

In an extensive interview with the Wall Street Journal, former US President Donald Trump revealed details about his personal habits and disagreements with his doctors. He admitted to frequently ignoring medical advice, preferring his own lifestyle and diet, which often includes food from McDonald's. Trump stated that he sleeps little and often sends messages late at night, while starting his workday quite late. He also admitted to taking aspirin daily in a much higher dose than recommended, despite warnings from his doctors, due to “superstitions.” He expressed his dissatisfaction with the recent medical examination he underwent, arguing that excessive emphasis was placed on his health by his critics. Additionally, he corrected that he had undergone a CT scan, not an MRI scan, after initial reports stated otherwise. Trump revealed that he stopped wearing special compression socks recommended by his doctors because “he didn’t like them,” and generally does not wish to change his lifestyle, except for golf, which he considers an acceptable form of exercise. The interview paints a picture of a man who trusts his own judgment and does not place much importance on the advice of experts.
