On Sunday, Donald Trump showed sympathy after Joe Biden’s cancer news. By Monday, he’d pivoted. At a White House law enforcement event, he questioned Biden’s fitness for office and fuelled unverified conspiracies.
🕵️♂️ “Why wasn’t the public told sooner?”
Reporters asked what investigators had uncovered about Biden’s diagnosis. Trump replied: “I think it’s very sad. Actually, I’m surprised the public wasn’t notified a long time ago because to get to stage 9, that’s a long time. I just had my physical.”
He lumped Biden’s Gleason score of nine in with wild conjecture, then boasted he “aced” his own physical—including cognitive tests.
🏥 Screenings, stages and secrecy
Biden has stage 4 prostate cancer that’s hormone-sensitive, say his doctors. Men aged 55–69 get PSA checks; over 70 they usually don’t. Early prostate cancer rarely shows symptoms, so Biden may have been unaware of his illness until recently.
🔬 Playing into conspiracies
Trump claimed “somebody is not telling the facts” about Biden’s diagnosis. He urged mandatory cognitive tests for presidents. His comments echo fringe theories—despite no evidence of a cover-up.
🤷♂️ From kind words to cutting remarks
Just a day earlier on Truth Social, Trump had written:
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis… We wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
Now he’s back to questioning Biden’s health—and stirring fresh doubts.
