Trump Backs White House Doctors Amid Biden’s Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

President Donald Trump stands firm in his confidence in White House physicians, even as questions swirl about their oversight in missing former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer during his time in office. The revelation of Biden’s stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer, announced over the weekend, has sparked speculation about the quality of medical care provided to presidents.

During a Monday press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed concerns raised by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy. When asked if Trump doubted the competence of White House doctors, Leavitt was unequivocal: "The president trusts his medical team completely. Our White House physician is exceptional, and the team at Walter Reed Medical Center is top-notch." She highlighted Trump’s recent physical, which yielded "perfect results," and praised his relentless energy, noting his work in the Oval Office after a grueling Middle East trip.

Biden’s diagnosis, described as an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer with bone metastasis, has sent shockwaves through the political sphere. The 82-year-old former president’s team disclosed that the cancer, with a Gleason score of 9, was detected after urinary symptoms led to the discovery of a prostate nodule. While the disease is severe, it remains hormone-sensitive, offering hope for effective treatment.

Trump expressed sympathy in a Truth Social post, joined by First Lady Melania Trump, wishing Biden a "fast and successful recovery." Though the two leaders haven’t spoken since the announcement, Leavitt indicated Trump would be open to a conversation.

The diagnosis raises questions about medical oversight during Biden’s presidency, given the slow-developing nature of prostate cancer. Yet, for Trump, it’s business as usual, with unwavering trust in his physicians and a focus on governing with vigor.
