Donald Trump Jr. lashed out at critics Monday after facing backlash for a social media post about former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis, that was widely condemned as “disgusting.”
After the announcement that Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer, Trump Jr. initially reposted a message on X (formerly Twitter) wishing Biden a “speedy recovery” and writing, “Agree 100%.”
But he quickly pivoted to attack mode, taking aim at former first lady Jill Biden, who holds a doctorate in education and is not a medical doctor.
President Donald Trump’s eldest son sarcastically questioned her failure to detect “stage five metastatic cancer,” a non-existent stage of the disease.
“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” he wrote.
I sometimes forget that part of the mental disorder of leftism is an inability to understand sarcasm. So for the confused libs out there, I'm well aware that Jill Biden is a fake doctor, not a real one...Unlike the Dems who were calling for her to be Surgeon General in 2020 🤡 pic.twitter.com/PEiu2XgGf8

He then linked to a 2020 article on “The View” in which co-host Whoopi Goldberg mistakenly suggested that Jill Biden should be named surgeon general. Goldberg quickly corrected herself during the same broadcast, admitting: “I was wrong about his wife… before you start texting and emailing.”
