President Donald Trump offered measured condolences on Sunday, after the office of his predecessor Joe Biden announced that the former president has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,” the president posted on Truth Social. “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” Biden’s office said in a statement. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
Trump himself has gone after Biden for his health issues, despite also fielding concerns about his cognitive health at an advanced age.
