Joe Biden’s recent cancer diagnosis has shocked the nation.
But questions are now swirling about what the Biden family knew and when they knew it.
And Jill Biden will fume after what the President’s son said about covering up her husband’s cancer.
The Biden family receives devastating news
Former President Joe Biden is battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer according to a statement released by his office on Sunday.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” Biden’s office stated in the announcement.
The 81-year-old former President received an outpouring of sympathy and well wishes from across the political spectrum after the news broke about his diagnosis.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump quickly issued a statement expressing their sympathy for Biden.
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
Trump Jr. initially offered sympathy before raising important questions
Donald Trump Jr. initially echoed his father’s sentiments by reposting a message on X that stated, “Politics aside, we wish [President Biden] a speedy recovery.” Trump Jr. commented, “Agreed 100%.”
However, a few hours later, Trump Jr. returned to social media with some pointed questions that many Americans are now asking about the timeline of Biden’s diagnosis.
“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” Trump Jr. wrote, questioning the former First Lady who often touts her doctorate in education.
His post highlighted the nature of Biden’s particular cancer diagnosis and raised serious questions about whether the Biden family and administration had been concealing the former president’s health condition.
Growing skepticism about the timeline
Many conservative commentators and MAGA supporters are expressing skepticism about the sudden announcement of Biden’s cancer diagnosis.
The timing has raised eyebrows, coming just months after Biden stepped aside from the presidential race amid concerns about his cognitive and physical health.
The question on many Americans’ minds is whether the Biden White House knew about his cancer diagnosis before the decision to end his reelection campaign, and if that information was deliberately kept from voters.
Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the race in July stunned the political world, as he had previously insisted he was fit to serve another term despite mounting evidence to the contrary.
Increasing calls for transparency
As concerns mount about potential deception regarding Biden’s health, calls for transparency are growing louder.
If Biden’s cancer diagnosis predated his decision to step aside, it would represent yet another instance where the American public was misled about the former president’s medical condition.
Throughout Biden’s presidency, the White House was repeatedly accused of downplaying or concealing his apparent cognitive decline and health issues, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre often dismissing legitimate concerns as conspiracy theories.
Trump Jr.’s pointed question reflects the frustration many Americans feel about the possibility of being misled once again about matters of significant public importance.
A pattern of misleading the public?
This wouldn’t be the first time the Biden administration has faced accusations of covering up the former president’s health problems.
For years, the White House insisted Biden was in excellent health despite numerous public incidents that suggested otherwise – from stumbling up the stairs of Air Force One to frequently appearing confused during public appearances.
If Biden’s cancer diagnosis was known earlier and concealed, it would add to a troubling pattern of keeping the American people in the dark about the health of their commander-in-chief.
While everyone hopes for Biden’s recovery regardless of political affiliation, the American people deserve honesty and transparency from their elected officials, especially regarding matters as significant as the president’s health.
