DONALD Trump said he was “surprised”;; the public wasn’t told long ago about Joe Biden’s prostate cancer as he took a swipe at the former president.
Biden, 82, who served as president from 2021 to 2025, confirmed he had the advanced form of the disease in a statement on Sunday.
Trump cast doubt on the timeline of Biden’s diagnosis on Monday as he said it usually takes a “long time”;; to reach such an aggressive stage of cancer.
The US President previously expressed his support for the former president and his family.
He wrote on Truth Social: “Melania and I are saddened to hear aboutrecent medical diagnosis.
“We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”;;
But Trump has now hinted that Biden might have been hiding his diagnosis from the public.
This comes after a leading oncologist claimed that Biden likely had cancer when he took office in 2021.
Dr Zeke Emanuel said: “He’s had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading.”;;
Biden announced his cancer diagnosis in an official statement from his personal office on Sunday.
The statement said that he was seen by doctors last week after suffering urinary symptoms, with a prostate nodule then being found.
He was then diagnosed withon Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.
The statement read: “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.
“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.
“The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”;;
A Gleason score of 9 means the cancerous cells “look very abnormal”;; and that the disease is “likely to grow quickly”;;, according toCancer Research UK.
Biden has previously struggled with his physical health, with some saying he had grappled with numerous health issues during his final year in office.
Biden served as US president from 2021 to 2025, with his termwhen Donald Trump took office.
There had been reports in the past Biden was “disoriented and out of it”;; during cabinet talks and that he had also, including that of his son Beau’s tragic death in 2015.
Biden was also forced to, with the Democratic Party nomination being succeeded by his much-younger vice-president, amid fears over Biden’s cognitive health.
