Donald Trump Jr. has been slammed online for his ‘vile’ statement about Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis.
On May 18, Biden’s office released a statement sharing the sad news that the former president has been diagnosed with stage nine prostate cancer that has 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.”
President Trump has now released a statement about the health update.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump wrote: “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.”
However, Trump’s eldest son, Donald Jr. decided this was a great opportunity to criticize Biden’s wife, Jill.
The 47-year-old wrote: “What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???”
Many online have since slammed Trump for his ‘vile’ comment. “Mocking a man’s cancer and blaming his wife, who’s not even a medical doctor, shows just how low and shallow he is. ‘Stage five’? It’s Grade Group 5, bonehead,” one wrote, while another added, “This isn’t politics. It’s cruelty. Ugly, dumb, and vile. Nothing else to call it.”
Harry Sisson, a democrat campaigner, wrote: “Donald Trump Jr. just made fun of President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. This is where we’re at in American politics. Trump Jr. is a pathetic, reprehensible conman who wouldn’t know decency if it smacked him in the face. Shame on him.”
This comes after Biden had a procedure in February 2023 to remove a ‘basal cell carcinoma’, a type of skin cancer, from his chest.
In November 2021, he had a polyp removed from his colon that was benign but was potentially precancerous.
