- Donald Trump suggested that Joe Biden's doctors might have been concealing his cancer and cognitive function issues.
- Prostate cancer diagnosis at stage four with bone metastasis was announced by Biden's office on Sunday.
- Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel stated that the advanced stage of the disease indicates that the cancer had developed over many years.
When asked about the prostate cancer diagnosis at stage four with bone metastasis announced by Biden's office, Trump stated: "I'm surprised that the public wasn't notified a long time ago, because to get to stage 9, that's a long time." He added that during his medical examinations, he underwent prostate cancer tests, which are standard.
The former president suggested that Biden's doctor should be asked for details, pointing to the possibility that it is the same doctor who claimed Biden had no cognitive function issues.
Trump expressed concern that the public is being kept in the dark about certain developments. He emphasized that it's essential to question the doctor or doctors involved, regardless of whether it's one or more individuals. He stressed that the situation poses a serious risk to the country and goes beyond issues of political correctness.
Biden's health condition
Biden's office reported that prostate cancer with bone metastasis was detected after he complained about urinary system issues. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a former advisor to Biden, told MSNBC television that such an advanced stage of the disease suggests that the cancer had developed over "many years, possibly even a decade."
According to the "New York Times", Biden's disease in its current phase is no longer curable, but medical advancements allow patients to live with it for 5-10 years. Dr. Judd Moul from Duke University assessed that Biden may "die of natural causes, not because of the cancer".
