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.

    Kk fine. But he couldn’t have possibly not known his own condition. Still stubbornly decided to run

      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.
