Speculations about the real state of President Donald Trump have been surfacing online for quite some time now. Making things worse is when the POTUS mentioned, during a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, that he takes a higher dose of aspirin than his doctors recommended.
Dr. Bruce Davidson, however, claimed that a single detail may have accidentally revealed something much larger: that the husband of Melania Trump suffered a stroke at some point in the past.
The prominent physician spoke on The Daily Mail podcast on January 25 and shared his reasoning. “I read the report that he was taking three hundred twenty-five milligrams of aspirin, and that is only recommended for people who’ve had a stroke to prevent a second stroke from a partially blocked artery. When I read that, I said, well, he’s had a stroke, and he’s taking the right medication,” Dr. Bruce stated.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the standard recommended daily dose for aspirin therapy to prevent a heart attack or stroke is typically between seventy-five and three hundred twenty-five milligrams, but most commonly eighty-one. Trump’s choice to take the higher end of that range, and to admit it publicly, raises the question Dr. Bruce posed: Why?
Donald Trump, for his part, explained his reasoning to the Wall Street Journal in his typical blunt style. “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?” the father of Barron Trump explained.
The bruising on his hands, which has become a recurring visual detail in recent months, Donald Trump attributed directly to the aspirin regimen. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the bruising in a July 2025 statement, explaining it was “consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.”
Shhh… don’t say anything. Let god do her work.

But Dr. Bruce’s analysis goes beyond the aspirin dosage. He pointed to other physical observations that, in his view, suggest neurological damage. In an earlier video from this year, Donald Trump appeared to be shuffling when he walked. “For President Trump, earlier in the year, there was a video of him shuffling, and I thought that was weird,” Dr. Bruce told podcast host Joanna Coles.
He also noted what he interpreted as involuntary hand positioning. “Then I saw him cradling his right hand in his left, which is a common, involuntary thing that people with strokes have done when they have weakness,” the physician went on.
Speech patterns also caught the doctor’s attention. Dr. Bruce observed that Donald Trump had garbled words more noticeably a couple of months ago than he does now, which he suggested could indicate damage to the speech area of the brain. “That implies he broke his speech area, which is in the frontal left portion of the brain,” Dr. Bruce furthered.
Okay, look.
Drudge moving away from Trump 63 days from the election is one thing.
But Trump denying he had a series of mini-strokes when no one said he had, coupled with clear video and photo evidence of him dragging his right leg all over tarnation is another. #trumpstroke pic.twitter.com/gMlMoiD3Pq

The White House has stayed silent about Dr. Bruce Davidson’s claims, while Donald Trump’s doctors continue to say he’s in excellent health. Still, many people are finding it harder to believe that everything is fine. Some details keep raising eyebrows, like the unusually high dose of aspirin Trump mentioned and the bruises that keep appearing on his hands. The explanations so far have not convinced everyone.
