Trump, Harris and other political leaders react to Biden's cancer diagnosis

Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer last week, his office said in a statement on Sunday.

-snip-

His prostate cancer diagnosis is "characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone," his office said Sunday. "While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management."

"Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday afternoon. "We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery."

Former Vice President Kamala Harris also posted on X on Sunday, saying she and her husband are keeping President Joe Biden and his family in their prayers. "Joe is a fighter — and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership," she wrote. Her husband, Doug Emhoff, the former second gentleman under Biden, separately posted his regards.

I'm surprised Trump had anything nice to say. Did someone send that for him?

I don't know if Trump is like this 100% in private. Biden wrote that Trump's letter to him that he left in the resolute desk in 2020 was, in his words, "gracious."

But if it is all an act Trump does in public, I don't know if he knows how to be a decent human being anymore.

I tend to think that Trump in private has become (or always was?) the awful human being that he shows in public.
