Donald Trump Jr. and MAGAworld pounced on the news of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis with wild speculation about a long term “cover-up” of the former president’s disease.

Hours after Biden’s office announced Sunday that he had been diagnosed with a “more aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, Trump Jr. boosted a conspiracy that was already circulating among MAGA influencers and pundits.

“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” he wrote on X.

    “What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???”

    Does this guy think Jill Biden has a medical degree? Her doctorate is in education. This is yet another case of a MAGAt showing how ignorant he is just by opening his mouth…

    (Now that I read the link, it looks like this was Trump Jr, so the ignorance tracks…)

      Worse. These are the people who said she’s not a doctor because she holds s PhD in education, rather than a medical degree.

        They need to INVESTIGATE all the FAKE LIBERAL universities handing out PHONY certificates that allow people to call themselves “Dr.” when they CAN’T EVEN diagnose prostate cancer.

      He absolutely knows. The MAGA base don’t, and that’s what matters.

          I seem to remember the MAGA leaders crowd bashing on her specifically because her doctorate wasn’t medical. It’s the only reason I believe he does know.

      Stage five? I feel like that’s only something that Donald Trump could get. Only the best cancer, the greatest cancer. Only in America, can we get cancer like this cancer. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it.

    a long term “cover-up” of the former president’s disease.

    Once again, every accusation is a confession with these people. Every. Fucking. Time.

        “Woke Seatbelts” was unironically a thing back in the 1980s. I remember AM Radio heads and far-right libertarians kicking and screaming about it, people proudly insisting they wouldn’t wear a seat belt and yelling at patrol officers who ticketed them, and lots of folks stories about people being “thrown clear of the wreck” or “trapped in their car burning to death” which made seatbelts more dangerous.

      To me, the play here is to cock-block any possibility of their base exercising empathy for others. The fact that they have escalated beyond cries of “fake news” to straight up lies, is chilling.

        What right do you have to demand to know his medical condition? All you need to know if he is fit to do his duty, and that is not your decision to make.

          Everyone seems to have forgotten that POTUS’s health conditions are a state secret. FFS they even take a portable toilet (or probably just a garbage bag as a liner) for him to shit in when traveling to foreign countries so they can’t collect the turd for forensic analysis of his health.

              I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he first learned about it just after the debate with Trump. I read (on the internets so not sure how true) that this cancer often presents itself as causing a UTI. And UTIs often cause delirium and disorientation in elderfolk. Just like he seemed to have during the debate. So my theory is he didnt step down because of the bad debate performance but because his doctors then found the cancer and told him he would likely not make it through the next term.

              Very aggressive cancer? In his age without chemo for 5 years? Yeah doubt that.

    Anything to distract the base from their rampant criminality and blatant defiance of the rule of law, including the constitution.

          He went to Leo’s inaugural mass, but Leo refused to meet with him. Leo was close friends with Frances, he knows Vance murdered him, so he’s not getting close enough for Vance to hex him with his Hillbilly Voodoo. .

    The cancer is a nanobot sent by CHYNA’s DEEPSEEK SPYWARE made with STOLEN IP to HIJACK our COUNTRY and to make an ILLEGAL PARDON using a STOLEN AUTOPEN to pardon HUNTER BIDEN, so he can use his LAPTOP to fund the UKRAINE ILLEGAL NATO EXPANSION.

    Since there is a hormonal component to this cancer, I’m expecting them to start claiming that he’s Trans.

    Maga is not wrong about this one.
    Someone who supposedly gets medical checkups as part of the job, please don’t tell me this wasn’t covered up just to get through elections. U gonna tell me wh doctors missed stage 5 cancer?

    I mean he’s a dead man walking, but still - this is 100% shameful coverup by Dems. Shit like this is why Dems lost. Biden should have realized his health challenges and stepped aside early on and let real competitive primaries to take place.

    I read this as projection. Therefore using magat logic they gave Biden cancer.
