Trump Questions Timing of Biden's Cancer Disclosure: “Why Did It Take So Long?”

 

U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed skepticism and concern over the timing of the announcement regarding President Joe Biden’s recent cancer diagnosis. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said he was “surprised the public wasn’t notified a long time ago” after Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has reportedly spread to his bones.

 

Biden, 82, was confirmed on Friday to be suffering from a serious case of prostate cancer, with medical assessments assigning a Gleason score of nine. This rating, which runs from two to ten, is used to evaluate how abnormal cancer cells are compared to healthy tissue and indicates that Biden’s cancer is among the most aggressive types.

 

“I think it’s very sad, actually,” Trump said when asked about the diagnosis. “I’m surprised the public wasn’t notified a long time ago because to get to stage nine, that’s a long time.”

 

Trump also cast doubt on the transparency surrounding Biden’s health and raised questions about the involvement of medical professionals. “I think that, if you take a look, it's the same doctor that said that Joe was cognitively fine... there was nothing wrong with him,” Trump claimed. “Well... if it's the same doctor who said there was nothing wrong there... that's been proven to be a sad situation.”

 

Other presidents, including Donald Trump, have undergone and released their prostate screening results.

 

The president implied there may be more to the story than the public has been told. “In other words, there are things going on that the public wasn’t informed of,” he said. “And that’s very dangerous.”

 

Trump’s remarks also touched on his own recent medical evaluation. “I just had a very complete physical test which included cognitive tests,” he said. “I’m proud to announce I aced it.”

 

Biden had been campaigning for re-election against Trump before withdrawing following a widely criticized debate performance that intensified scrutiny over his mental fitness. That debate included a now-infamous gaffe in which Biden mistakenly referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “President Putin” during a NATO summit.

 

Referencing the diagnosis timeline, Trump questioned both the length of time the cancer may have been developing and the delay in disclosing it. “The other thing you have to say is why did it take so long? I mean... this takes a long time, can take years to get to this level of danger,” he said. “I think people should try and find out what happened... Maybe it was the same doctor and somebody is not telling the facts. That’s a big problem.”

 

It remains unclear whether Trump was questioning the time it took for Biden to receive his diagnosis or the time it took for that diagnosis to be shared with the public. Regardless, his comments have added fuel to ongoing debates over the transparency and health of America’s oldest-ever sitting president.

It's metastasised to the bone so he's had it for quite some time. This must have been known and kept under wraps.

It's a trump card (small t), to be pulled out just before all the books go on sale.  He's gonna need the sympathy.  Bigly.

Trump wants us all to talk about Biden’s health.

The question is, why?

Just one more example of the many lies on the left.  I'm so glad we dodged that bullet.

You don't think the timing of the reveal is suspicious?  Just before all the tell all books are coming out?

What's suspicious is why this wasn't released when he was POTUS at which time they must have known just like they knew about his cognitive decline.

All of a sudden a mere question becomes a lie.

 

Or is it a question you don’t like for some reason?

Radiation and chemo is a sh*t show, as are the meds that deal with the pain.  I'm dealing with that on a personal level with a loved one.  There is no way that guy was going to be competent to lead the free world with that going on health wise.  But the Dems would have still run him if he hadn't botched the debate.  Then they'd have covered for his oxycontin addled behavior, just like they covered for his senility.

 

We dodged 2 bullets in November.  A soon to be drug addled Biden and Kamala, who needs no further explanation to anyone with more than half a brain.

Too show that his fellow Dems were lying to all of us US citizens and also you non citizens. Who do you think was running the country while he was in office?

It is my honestly held personal belief that nobody  dealing with cancer, or who has dealt with cancer, personally or in a loved one, would post the overtly offensive remarks on Biden’s diagnosis that you have.

They are however consistent with your venomous posting history towards Joe Biden.

I think the correct term is to insinuate, but even that would be only one possible answer to the question I asked, there are others.

Then you'd be wrong.  15 minutes ago, I gave my GF of 20+ years her morning dose of oxycontin.

 

Edit:  It's for the pain from the damage that radiation did when the cancer metastasized into her bones.

Cancer spreading to his bones didnt happen overnight.

That's what all those people around POTUS are for, to filter information and set the narrative. Which makes you wonder what they are hiding this time around.

 

That said - physically Trump seems healthier than what he did in his first term.

I find it odd that the guy who hides his health records hides his school records hides his tax records is even opening his mouth about this….guess it gets the trolls excited tho and after all he is the president of trolls
