Trump Gives Measured Condolences To Biden After Cancer Diagnosis

President Donald Trump offered measured condolences on Sunday, after the office of his predecessor Joe Biden announced that the former president has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,” the president posted on Truth Social. “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, after doctors found a prostate nodule while examining the former president for increased urinary symptoms. The 82-year-old’s diagnosis received a Gleason score of 9, which indicates his cancer is among the most aggressive. The cancer has already metastasized to his bones, according to his office.“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” Biden’s office said in a statement. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”Biden’s age and health had come to the forefront during his reelection campaign against Trump, ultimately leading to his stepping down as the Democratic candidate so that then-Vice President Kamala Harris could take his place with just months until the election.The former president has been facing renewed concerns about his health, after reporting in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s new book “Original Sin” alleged that Biden aides hid the extent of his health issues from the public while he was in the White House.Trump himself has gone after Biden for his health issues, despite also fielding concerns about his cognitive health at an advanced age.
