During his presidency, moments like a confused 90-minute debate performance raised questions about his cognitive state.

The White House has consistently denied any serious conditions, pushing back against rumors of Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Biden has had medical interventions in recent years, including the removal of a benign but pre-cancerous colon polyp in 2021.

More recently, he had a basal cell carcinoma—a common type of skin cancer—removed from his chest in early 2023.

These health issues, while publicly known, now seem to pale compared to the gravity of his new diagnosis.

The news broke on May 18, when Biden’s office confirmed the 82-year-old had been diagnosed with an ‘aggressive’ form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones.

Doctors discovered the cancer during a routine visit for urinary symptoms, identifying a new prostate nodule with a Gleason score of 9—placing it in the highest risk category.

Fortunately, medical experts say the cancer is hormone-sensitive, offering hope that treatment can effectively manage the disease.

Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump declared, “I think it’s very sad actually, I’m surprised that the public wasn’t notified a long time ago because to get to stage 9, that’s a long time.”

The problem? There is no such thing as ‘stage 9’ cancer—Biden’s Gleason score is not a cancer stage but a grading system of cell abnormality from 2 to 10.

Trump doubled down on his false claim, suggesting a cover-up and demanding an investigation into why the public wasn’t informed sooner.

“It can take years to get to this level of danger,” Trump said, implying there’s more behind Biden’s health that’s being hidden.

He added, “Somebody is not telling the facts, that’s a big problem,” pushing conspiracy theories about the former president’s medical transparency.

In the same press appearance, Trump pivoted to boasting about his own recent physical and cognitive test results, claiming he ‘aced it’ and expressing pride.

The shift in focus to himself only fueled the backlash, with critics calling his behavior ‘disgusting’ and opportunistic.

Trump’s allies’ reactions to Biden’s diagnosis confirmed.

Several of Trump’s allies, including Vice President JD Vance, questioned whether Biden was fit to hold office, implying serious health concerns.

Vance bluntly told reporters, “We really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job.”

Such statements tap into ongoing debates about Biden’s age and health that have shadowed his presidency.

Adding fuel to the fire, Donald Trump Jr. suggested Biden’s wife, Jill Biden, missed diagnosing ‘stage five metastatic cancer,’ hinting at a cover-up.

This claim was quickly debunked by fact-checkers reminding that Jill Biden holds a PhD in education, not a medical degree.

Don Jr. later insisted his comment was ‘sarcasm,’ but the damage had been done in the court of public opinion.
