      I stomached looking at his truth social account so you don’t have to:

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

      I guess some pr person has his phone today. He’ll probably say something stupid in an interview later.

        I checked the Conservative subreddit to see what their reaction was and it’s pretty sympathetic. This made me laugh though

          As if this isn’t the most basic norm of the presidency?

          Has any other president trashed an ex presidents diagnosis (or something similar)?

          Yeah the comments ITT are pretty awful. I’m no fan of Biden, but some of the comments here are depraved.

            Aiding and abetting a genocide is depraved.

            Going on national TV and lying about seeing “pictures of 40 beheaded babies” is depraved.

            Celebrating when a war criminal gets prostate cancer? Not depraved at all in my opinion. He deserves much worse.
