That described Trump until fairly recently. However, the advice is to take one high-dose aspirin per day if you’ve had a stroke. Trump now takes a high-dose aspirin every day at least since that episode last year when his face mysteriously started sagging on the right side. He also started using his left hand to brace himself while going up and down stairs. Having a stroke also interferes with normal sleep patterns. Some doctors who deal with stroke say that these indications are that Trump probably had a small infarction on the left side of his brain last year.
Let's not forget his daily intake of Diet Coke, which is 12 cans per day, which is 552 milligrams of caffeine, which is above the Mayo Clinic's safe daily intake of 400 milligrams per day.

Physical Effects Excessive caffeine overstimulates the central nervous system and cardiovascular system, causing
tachycardia (rapid heart rate),
palpitations, and potentially dangerous
cardiac arrhythmias or
hypertension. Gastrointestinal issues are common, including
nausea,
vomiting,
diarrhea, and stomach acidity. Other physical signs include
muscle twitching,
rigidity,
tremors,
flushed face, and
diuresis (increased urination). In severe cases, complications can escalate to
rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown),
acute kidney injury,
seizures, and even
cardiac arrest.
Mental and Neurological Effects On the mind, caffeine overdose induces a state of
caffeinism characterized by
nervousness,
irritability,
restlessness, and
anxiety. High doses can lead to
insomnia,
headaches, and
confusion. In more severe intoxication, individuals may experience
psychomotor agitation,
rambling speech,
delusions,
hallucinations,
disorientation, or
psychosis. The overstimulation can also mimic or exacerbate
panic attacks, particularly in those with preexisting anxiety disorders. " (AI snippet)
