    I stomached looking at his truth social account so you don’t have to:

    Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.

    I guess some pr person has his phone today. He’ll probably say something stupid in an interview later.

      You are an angel! Yes it’s written by an educated and classy person. Not him.

        Yeah. Turns out he posted on twitter last night, less than three hours from the OP’s countdown:

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

        I should note that there is no such thing as stage five cancer, only 1-4. And Jill Biden’s doctorate is in education.

      I checked the Conservative subreddit to see what their reaction was and it’s pretty sympathetic. This made me laugh though

          Cancer doesn’t care about ideology, but it sure seems like one ideology in the US cares about giving you cancer and denying treatment for it.

          If cancer could vote, it would vote Republican.

            Yes. That’s a big reason why a democrat posting in r/conservative calling them classy and wonderful almost made me puke.

        As if this isn’t the most basic norm of the presidency?

        Has any other president trashed an ex presidents diagnosis (or something similar)?

        Yeah the comments ITT are pretty awful. I’m no fan of Biden, but some of the comments here are depraved.

          Aiding and abetting a genocide is depraved.

          Going on national TV and lying about seeing “pictures of 40 beheaded babies” is depraved.

          Celebrating when a war criminal gets prostate cancer? Not depraved at all in my opinion. He deserves much worse.

            Agreed.

            Hard disagree.

            You can acknowledge that he’s an awful person while refraining from celebrating his misfortune.

            If someone deserves punishment, celebrating that punishment is basically just hatred. I might want to get that looked at.

              Yes, I hate the man who spent my tax dollars to bomb children living in tent cities.

              I hate the man who failed so spectacularly as a candidate that he gave us president Trump.

              I hate Genocide Joe.
