President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, confirmed on May 18, 2025, sparked widespread discussion and concern. The cancer, described as aggressive and having spread to the bones, is hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective treatment. Biden is currently exploring treatment options with his doctors.
Surprisingly, former President Donald Trump responded with a calm and supportive message on Truth Social, wishing Biden a “fast and successful recovery.” The unexpected tone shocked many online, with some doubting Trump even wrote the message. Comments like “He didn’t write that” and “Where is Trump?” flooded social media.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama also offered kind words and prayers for Biden’s recovery, praising his strength and past efforts in cancer research.
Medical experts confirmed the seriousness of Biden’s diagnosis but noted that many patients live for years with advanced prostate cancer, especially when treated with hormone therapy.
As Biden and his family plan the next steps, the outpouring of support from leaders and citizens alike has dominated the national conversation.
