Donald Trump Jr.’s attempt at compassion towards Joe Biden lasted just a few hours on Sunday after the former president’s office announced he’d been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone.

Donald Trump Jr. didn't hesitate to fuel conspiracy theories about Joe Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis. The first son of the United States took to social media on Sunday, May 18, reacting to the former Democratic president's health revelation just moments after Biden's personal office released a statement regarding his ongoing medical battle.

Trump Jr. reposted a video from 2022 in which Biden appears to acknowledge that he has cancer, the National News Desk reported. Biden in the clip is shown at an event discussing the effects of oil refineries on his home state of Delaware.

We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery,' Trump and his wife said.
