Trump demands to know why Biden’s cancer diagnosis wasn’t disclosed earlier warning ‘somebody is not telling the facts’

President Donald Trump hinted that he wanted to see President Joe Biden’s medical doctor be investigated after the former president’s shock cancer diagnosis. 

In the Oval Office on Monday, Trump was asked to react to Biden’s diagnosis and was asked if he planned to call his predecesor. 

Trump responded by calling the news ‘very sad’ but then segued and suggested that there might have been a cover-up, as others on the political right have floated. 

‘I’m surprised that it wasn’t, you know, the public wasn’t notified a long time ago because to get to stage nine, that’s a long time,’ Trump said. 

After boasting about acing his own physical – and noting that he had taken a cognitive test – he suggested something was awry with Biden’s White House doctor. 

‘I think that if you look, it’s the same doctor that said that Joe was cognitively fine. There was nothing wrong with him,’ Trump said. ‘Maybe it was the same doctor, and somebody is not telling the facts.’

He said that while he felt ‘badly’ about it, ‘I think people should try and find out what happened,’ the president added. 

On Sunday, Biden’s post-presidential office sent out a statement saying that the former president had been diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, which had  metastasized to his bones.

Prostate cancers are graded on aggressiveness by using what’s called the Gleason score. 

In the 82-year-old ex-commander-in-chief’s case, his Gleason score is a 9 – making it one of the most aggressive. 

‘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. ‘The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.’ 

The former president received an outpouring of support, including from Trump and the first lady. 

‘Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,’ Trump posted to Truth Social. ‘We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.’

However Donald Trump Jr. and other members of the MAGAverse online started stirring the pot over whether a cover-up was afoot. 

‘What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another cover-up???’ Trump Jr. mused. 

Dr. Biden, the former first lady, is not a medical doctor. She has a Ph.D in education. 

Biden’s health had already been in the news due to a slew of books being released on the 2024 presidential race. 

The next one to hit bookshelves, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson, has the most bombastic title of the recent releases. 

In an excerpt of the book, which will be released Tuesday, aides discussed putting Biden in a wheelchair after the election, because his physical deterioration, ‘most apparent in his halting walk,’ had become so severe. 

In Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House, authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes wrote that Biden needed fluorescent tape to guide him through a fundraiser. 

Author Chris Whipple, who wrote Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History, said on CNN last month that ‘this was different from a cover-up.’ 

‘It wasn’t a Watergate-style cover-up. It wasn’t a grand conspiracy as Karl Rove has described it,’ Whipple said. 

‘The closest advisers to Biden believed, despite all the evidence, that Joe Biden was capable of running for reelection, of winning and of serving another four years,’ Whipple said. ‘Now it was really delusional.’
