In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, addressed the growing speculation about his physical and mental condition at the age of 79. The president firmly rejected reports of hearing difficulties or episodes of drowsiness during official events, assuring that his energy is due to a privileged genetic inheritance. "I have very good genes," he affirmed to dismiss criticisms about his age, the most advanced for a sitting president. Regarding his medical routine, Trump revealed that he maintains a daily consumption of 325 milligrams of aspirin to "keep the blood fluid," disregarding his doctors' recommendation to reduce the dose to 81 milligrams. He also acknowledged suffering from chronic venous insufficiency, though he admitted to having abandoned the use of compression stockings due to discomfort. As for the cardiovascular studies conducted in October, the captain of the Navy and personal physician, Sean Barbabella, confirmed that a computed tomography scan revealed no anomalies and that, according to an analysis using artificial intelligence, the president's "cardiac age" is equivalent to that of a 65-year-old person. Despite official reports that rate his health as "exceptional," close collaborators mentioned signs of aging, such as greater skin fragility and the need to raise his voice in private meetings for the head of state to hear clearly. Trump, for his part, insisted that his only physical activity is golf, calling other forms of exercise "boring," and maintains a diet that frequently includes fast food, factors that contrast with the usual medical protocols for his age group.
