US President Donald Trump has admitted he finds exercise boring, even as doctors recommend steps to protect his health. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the MAGA chief said, \u201cI just don\u2019t like it. It\u2019s boring. To walk on a treadmill or run on a treadmill for hours and hours like some people do, that\u2019s not for me.\u201d <\/p>\n

The soon-to-be 80-year-old GOP leader is an avid golfer and considers playing golf his form of exercise. \u201cMy \u2018exercise\u2019 is playing, almost never during the week, a quick round of golf,\u201d he told reporters in 2020.Trump also discussed his medical choices, revealing that he takes a daily 325-milligram aspirin dose to thin his blood, higher than the 81 milligrams recommended by doctors, according to CNN. \u201cThey say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don\u2019t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?\u201d he said.Doctors have expressed concern over the high dose and said that aspirin can prevent blood clots, but higher doses increase the risk of bleeding without added benefit. Trump\u2019s physician, Dr Sean Barbabella, has said that the president \u201cremains in exceptional health.\u201dTrump also clarified reports about a medical scan he had in October, stating it was a routine CT scan, not an MRI as some had suggested. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t an MRI. It was less than that. It was a scan,\u201d he said. The scan reportedly showed normal results for his cardiovascular and abdominal systems.Trump addressed other health issues, including swelling in his legs due to chronic venous insufficiency. He said he stopped wearing compression socks recommended by doctors because \u201cI didn\u2019t like them.\u201dFurthermore, Trump dismissed concerns about appearing to doze off at public events, saying, \u201cI\u2019ll just close. It\u2019s very relaxing to me. Sometimes they\u2019ll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they\u2019ll catch me with the blink.\u201d He also downplayed hearing difficulties, saying he struggles \u201cwhen there\u2019s a lot of people talking,\u201d but otherwise hears normally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President Donald Trump has admitted he finds exercise boring, even as doctors recommend steps to protect his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":222852,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[42475,115049,115047,499,103,61,60,115048,115050],"class_list":{"0":"post-222851","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-aspirin-dosage","9":"tag-chronic-venous-insufficiency","10":"tag-donald-trump-health","11":"tag-fitness","12":"tag-health","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-trump-exercise-routine","16":"tag-trump-interview-wall-street-journal"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222851\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
