President Donald Trump questioned on Monday why former President Joe Biden’s cancer was not caught before advancing to an “aggressive” stage and suggested that “people should try and find out what happened” and whether there was a connection between the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline and his seemingly delayed cancer diagnosis.
In comments to reporters at the White House on Monday, Trump described Biden’s cancer diagnosis as “very sad” and acknowledged that he was “surprised” the public was not “notified a long time ago” since it takes a “long time” for prostate cancer to “get to stage nine.”
“If it’s the same doctor who said there was nothing wrong there, that’s being proven to be a sad situation,” Trump said.
“In other words, there are things going on that the public wasn’t informed,” Trump added. “And I think somebody is going to have to speak to his doctor, if it’s the same or even if it’s two separate doctors. Why wasn’t the cognitive ability — why wasn’t that discussed? I think the doctors said he’s just fine, and it’s turned out that’s not so. It’s very dangerous. Look, this is no longer politically correct. This is dangerous for our country.”

Trump also questioned why it took so long for Biden to be publicly diagnosed with prostate cancer when the disease takes a long time to advance.
“It can take years to get to this level of danger,” Trump told reporters. “So it’s a — look, it’s a very, very sad situation, and I feel very badly about it, and I think people should try and find out what happened.”
Trump added, “Somebody is not telling the facts. That’s a big problem.”
Following Biden’s personal office’s announcement on Sunday that the 82-year-old former president had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer that was “characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” multiple medical experts have expressed concerns regarding the late diagnosis.
Medical experts told The Daily Caller that since prostate cancer typically takes at least five years to spread to a person’s bones, Biden likely had prostate cancer during his term in the White House.
Atossa Genetics CEO Dr. Steven Quay told The Daily Caller, “It’s not credible that we are hearing of his metastatic disease for the first time because he was having difficulty urinating and they found it. That just doesn’t track.”
