YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Trump suggested — without evidence — Monday that former President Joe Biden had delayed sharing his diagnosis of prostate cancer. Trump — who initially had been gracious after Biden first announced his diagnosis on Sunday, calling the news “very sad” — quickly pivoted on Monday to accusing Biden of hiding the information about his cancer.
When asked for a comment on the diagnosis at an event at the White House on Monday, Trump told reporters he was “surprised that the public wasn’t notified a long time ago because to get to Stage 9, that’s a long time.”
Trump appeared to conflate the Gleason score — a measurement of how aggressive cancer cells appear to be — with the stage of Biden’s cancer. Biden’s Gleason score was 9, indicating it is aggressive. He has Stage 4 cancer, the most serious of the four stages. (There is not a Stage 9 cancer.)
