President Trump expressed disbelief on Monday over how it was possible that Joe Biden’s advanced prostate cancer wasn’t identified until after he had left the White House. He criticized the people involved in Biden’s medical oversight, suggesting key facts had been hidden from the public.
“I’m surprised the public wasn’t notified a long time ago,” Trump stated while speaking to reporters during an Oval Office media appearance—his first public comment on Biden’s diagnosis.
“This is dangerous for our country,” Trump said, voicing his concerns about the implications of the delayed disclosure.
“There are things going on that the public wasn’t informed on,” he continued, highlighting what he sees as a troubling lack of transparency.
The statement from Biden’s team on Sunday revealed that the 82-year-old had been diagnosed with a particularly aggressive type of prostate cancer that had already reached his bones. This revelation was made despite Biden reportedly undergoing yearly check-ups while in office that never flagged any major concerns regarding his prostate health.
Trump described the situation as “very very sad,” but also pointed to the repeated public assurances from Biden’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, who for years had attested that Biden was in excellent cognitive condition—claims Trump said were contradicted by Biden’s performance in their first debate.
