The announcement that American politics have diagnosed him on Sunday. The 82 -year -old democratic president confirmed on Sunday, in a statement sent by his communication office, which The disease had already made bone metastasisa serious medical situation that, according to your medical team, can respond to hormonal treatment.
As soon as the diagnosis of the former US president, public messages of support to Joe Biden, multiplied in social networks, with a majority in which the president can overcome the disease can exceed the disease. Until his successor and political rival, Donald Trump, in a message signed with his wife Melania, wished him a prompt recovery: we express our best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a prompt and successful recovery, “he wrote on his platform Truth Social. But only in question hours, less than a day, all that empathy has become a thing of the past and, with the invaluable help of Trumpism, the conversation has changed focus. Now, lor that is questioned is whether they hid the disease when it was still in the White House.
“Why did it take so long?” Asked the Republican President in an act in the White House. “It can take years to reach that level of danger. It is a very, very sad situation. I feel very bad about it and I think people should know what happened.” The initial courtesy had been left behind in just 24 hours, because if Trump has demonstrated in his political career it is his ability to detect a fissure in the rival and turn it into a fracture. And this time that gap is Joe Biden’s prostate cancer. “Someone is not telling the facts,” the Republican tycoon released, insinuating that the routine exams to which all the presidents are submitted at the beginning of each mandate could be manipulated. “This is no longer about political correction. It is a danger to the country.”
A message that fits perfectly in an orchestrated discredit campaign with millimeter precision. Because before the current US president ended the puzzle with this change in tone in speeches, Trumpism and its most faithful allies had already got to work to pave the land.
Biden’s message, starting of the offensive
After announcing prostate cancer, it has been careful, emotional and serene. In a message posted on social networks, he thanked the support received in the last 24 hours from several points of the planet: “Cancer affects us all. Like many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are stronger in difficult times. Thank you for encouraging us with love.” The tweet, accompanied by a selfi with his wife and his cat Willow, has been an attempt to stop speculation and close ranks around the leader of the Democratic Party. However, the publication did not function as a firewall. On the contrary, it served as an exit gun to launch the Trumpist machinery, which seemed to be waiting for a signal to act.
The first to take a step further was the United States vice president, JD Vancewho, back from his trip to the Vatican to meet Leo XIV, wished “the best to the Democratic president” after knowing a diagnosis that “sounds quite serious.” However, he soon changed his contained tone to start the attack: “Really, we must be honest about whether the former president was able to perform the position. I do not think he enjoyed good health,” said the Republican vice president.
“He was not able to perform a good job for the American people,” added Vance, who has also pointed to the closest circle of doctors, advisors and collaborators of Joe Biden as those responsible for hiding their health status. “Americans have the right to know if their leader is in a position to assume all the responsibilities of the position,” setting a perfectly aligned speech with all the story that had already begun to spread from other trumpism fronts.
The eldest son of the current US president soon joined the campaign. Through social networks, Donald Trump Jr. has published a message where he also calls into the role that Joe Biden’s family environment has played and directly points to the woman of the former Democratic president: “What I want to know is how Dr. Jill Biden (who was a doctorate in teaching) passed the metastatic cancer in a five He suggested that Biden already knew that he had cancer while occupying the oval office.
Also from the scientific field, doubts have begun to arise about the diagnosis of Joe Biden. One of the most critical voices has been the professor at Yale University and public health expert, Howard form, who in an X mesage that he collects Reuters: “It is inconceivable that this did not follow before the presidency left. Gleason’s grade 9 would have had a high level of PSA (the specific prostate antigen that has been measured in blood) for a long time. Biden had to have undergone multiple analysis before. All this is strange,” he wrote.
Statistics don’t help to clear the suspicions. According to the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC), seven out of ten cases of prostate cancer that are diagnosed, are detected before they metastasis. It has not been the case of Joe Biden. A fact that, in a political context as polarized as the American, has become ammunition for the adversary. That same line is the one that the doctor and also entrepreneur Steven Quay, who questions, without having evidence, if the Democrat could have been a side effect of cancer treatment.
And if Joe Biden did not have enough with the Trumpist discredit machinery, the book appears Original Sinwritten hand hand by journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, with whom they have managed to revive the debate on the cognitive state of the Democrat in his last months as president. According to the essay, which is based on the testimony of advisors and key figures of the Democratic Party, its closest collaborators came to question “seriously” the mental acuity of Biden, before announcing his withdrawal of the race for re -election after the debate with Donald Trump in which he seemed to lose the connection with reality at times. Despite this, the book authors say, no one in their surroundings dared to propose their withdrawal from the candidacy.
