Donald Trump Jr. and MAGAworld pounced on the news of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis with wild speculation about a long term “cover-up” of the former president’s disease.

Hours after Biden’s office announced Sunday that he had been diagnosed with a “more aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, Trump Jr. boosted a conspiracy that was already circulating among MAGA influencers and pundits.

“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” he wrote on X.

    “What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???”

    Does this guy think Jill Biden has a medical degree? Her doctorate is in education. This is yet another case of a MAGAt showing how ignorant he is just by opening his mouth…

    (Now that I read the link, it looks like this was Trump Jr, so the ignorance tracks…)

        I kinda want to open fake MAGA doctor offices now and just make them drink bleach or shoot up horse dewormer or whatever for giggles

      He absolutely knows. The MAGA base don’t, and that’s what matters.

          I seem to remember the MAGA leaders crowd bashing on her specifically because her doctorate wasn’t medical. It’s the only reason I believe he does know.

    Anything to distract the base from their rampant criminality and blatant defiance of the rule of law, including the constitution.

    Well…

    I highly doubt that Jill is keeping a close personal eye on his prostate…

    However I think if Gerry Connelly wouldn’t have gotten so much blowback for “finding out” he had cancer like the day after the election, I believe this would have been announced earlier.

    And I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if they found out while Biden was president and just didn’t say anything.

    There’s a new DNC now, but I wouldn’t have trusted the last one on anything

    GODDAMN IT. Every fucking thing that happens in this world has to be some kind of fucking conspiracy to these people. Nothing can just be what it is.

      To me, the play here is to cock-block any possibility of their base exercising empathy for others. The fact that they have escalated beyond cries of “fake news” to straight up lies, is chilling.

    Since there is a hormonal component to this cancer, I’m expecting them to start claiming that he’s Trans.

    That is the stuff that I think makes many MAGA turn on them. Not a full turn. But a lot of good old boys do not fuck around this way. This is pure silver spooned nepo baby rhetoric

    I read this as projection. Therefore using magat logic they gave Biden cancer.
