“It takes a long time to get to that situation, to get to a stage nine,” Trump said, apparently referring to Biden’s Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), as announced by his office.
US President Donald Trump on Monday called his predecessor Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis “very sad” before accusing former White House staff and the Biden family of “not telling the facts.” Casting doubts over the timing of the announcement, the Republican leader said he was “surprised” the public wasn’t informed sooner about Biden’s condition.
Trump’s comment came a day after Biden’s office revealed that the 82-year-old former President has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
“I think it’s very sad, actually. I’m surprised that it wasn’t, you know — the public wasn’t notified a long time ago,” Trump said while talking to reporters in the Oval Office.
“It takes a long time to get to that situation, to get to a stage nine,” he added, apparently referring to Biden’s Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), as announced by his office.
Trump mentioned that he underwent a full physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last month, claiming that a prostate exam is “standard” for “pretty much anyone getting a good physical.”
