Donald Trump Jr. Faces Backlash Over Comments on Joe Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis
Donald Trump Jr., eldest son of former President Donald Trump, has come under fire for remarks regarding former President Joe Biden's recent prostate cancer diagnosis. On May 18, 2025, it was publicly announced that Joe Biden, aged 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones.

Following the announcement, Donald Trump Jr. posted a message on X (formerly Twitter), expressing well wishes for Biden's recovery. However, he later shared a post questioning how Dr. Jill Biden, who holds a doctoral degree in education, could have missed signs of stage five metastatic cancer, implying a possible cover-up. He also criticized the timing of the disclosure, suggesting that the administration had concealed the diagnosis for political reasons.

These comments have drawn widespread criticism from various quarters. Many have labeled his remarks as "disgusting" and "vile," accusing him of politicizing a serious health issue. Critics argue that such statements undermine the gravity of the situation and show a lack of empathy.

In response to the backlash, Donald Trump Jr. defended his comments, asserting that he was merely seeking accountability and transparency from the Biden administration. He denied any intent to politicize the matter and emphasized his concern for the public's right to know.

The controversy has intensified discussions about the role of public figures in commenting on personal health matters and the boundaries between political discourse and personal privacy.

Trump Jr.’s critics called him out for his message attacking the Bidens:
