First, I should say that I find the many attacks on Joe Biden in bad taste. He is no longer a political threat to anyone, so there is no reason to drag his name in the mud. Let’s just drop the matter.
Here’s what I, along with most average Americans, have concluded about the Biden situation, based just on what we hear on the news:
1.Cancers don’t just metastasize into the bones overnight. He must have had this cancer for quite a long time.
2. Every President’s health is closely monitored with frequent and thorough check-ups. Prostate cancer is one of the first things they check for. His doctors must have known about the cancer and kept it hidden.
Question: could the doctors have kept the diagnosis hidden even from Biden himself? Is it conceivable that Biden didn’t know about his own cancer until May of 2025?
These observations will not change anything; it’s all water under the bridge. There is one issue, however, that should be investigated. That is, if the doctors knew of Biden’s condition and kept it hidden, it looks as though they made no attempt to treat him. That i
is, they allowed the cancer to progress to an advanced stage without doing anything. In fact, they may have even kept it all secret from Biden himself. I find this behavior reprehensible, and it may even be criminal if the doctors opted not to try to save Biden’s life.
If true, this is behavior that both Republicans and Democrats should roundly condemn. But when Trump & Co. Try to make political capital from it, and the Democrats push back, the issue becomes relegated to just one more partisan standoff, where each side accuses the other of lying.
I’m surprised that I’m not hearing in the media any comparison with Woodrow Wilson. He had a stroke during his Presidency, and was basically a vegetable during those final days. But his followers propped him up in bed and pretended that he was still compos mentis.
In the Biden case, the government was able to continue running without the public suspecting the truth. Why? Because the President had intelligently selected his cabinet and advisers and Vice-President so that the team could carry on the work. That’s actually an important quality of a good leader.
If anything should happen to Donald Trump, could we expect his cabinet and advisers and Vice-President to competently and efficiently carry out the running of the government?
