Media speculation and the debate on transparency
The appearance of the bruise reignited the debate on presidential health, a theme that has always been central in the US politics.

The opinion of the experts: aspirin and capillary fragility
From the point of view doctor, the explanation provided by the President on the use of high-dose aspirin is found in the scientific literature. THE’acetylsalicylic acid, acting as antiplatelet, reduces the blood’s ability to clot rapidly, making the appearance of bruising and bruising even afterwards minimal trauma.
