Donald Trump Jr. Sparks Outrage With ‘Vile’ Comment After Biden Cancer News

Published on May 20, 2025

A ‘vile’ statement made by Donald Trump Jr. after Joe Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer has drawn criticism.

After learning about Biden’s ailing health, the president’s eldest son, known as Don Jr., has found himself in hot water after seemingly making an offensive remark.

The 82-year-old former president’s office confirmed in a statement on Sunday, May 18, that Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his bones and has a Gleason score of nine (Grade Group 5).

Since then, most people have been wishing Biden well, including President Donald Trump.

But it seems his son missed the memo because Don Jr. used the occasion to seemingly disparage Biden’s wife, Jill.

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

Additionally, the 47-year-old executive vice president and trustee of the Trump Organisation concurred “without question” with a statement that Biden was “running the country as a vegetable under the rug.”

Since then, dozens have denounced his remark as “vile” and “pure filth.”

“Mocking a man’s cancer and blaming his wife, who’s not even a medical doctor, shows just how low and shallow he is. ‘Stage five’? It’s Grade Group 5, bonehead,” another comment read. “This isn’t politics. It’s cruelty. Ugly, dumb, and vile. Nothing else to call it.”

Many pointed out Jill Biden has a PhD in education and is not a medic, to which one joked: “But you don’t have to be a medical doctor to diagnose Donald Trump Jr. terminally stupid and a vile human being.”

“Shameless opportunism dressed up as patriotism,” said a third.

“You are slime. Absolute slime,” penned another.

Democrat campaigner, Harry Sisson, also said, “Donald Trump Jr. just made fun of President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. This is where we’re at in American politics. Trump Jr. is a pathetic, reprehensible conman who wouldn’t know decency if it smacked him in the face. Shame on him.”

The controversial comment comes as just a few hours prior to the damning post, Don Jr had shared an image that read: “BREAKING: Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Politics aside, we wish him a speedy recovery!”

The caption supplied by the father of five read, “Agreed 100 percent.”

During the campaign trail last year, people’ concerns about Biden’s health were prevalent.

Then-White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issued a statement refuting Biden’s Alzheimer’s disease after his broadcast performance in a 90-minute debate against Trump stoked worries.

After withdrawing from the race, the 46th president of the United States gave the reins to former vice president Kamala Harris, who was ultimately defeated by Trump.

Although Biden’s representatives said in a statement that doctors found his prostate cancer to be ‘hormone-sensitive,’ allowing for ‘effective care’ of the illness, the cancer has a Gleason score of Grade 5, the most aggressive.

Don Jr’s comments also come as the 44th POTUS, Barack Obama, wrote a heartfelt post on Twitter that read, “Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family.”

“Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace.”

“We pray for a fast and full recovery.”

Meanwhile, President Trump also sent a message of support, writing, “Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis.”
