Just one day after former President Joe Biden revealed that he is fighting an aggressive form of prostate canc.er, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt struck a tone that many online found unsettling.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At a news briefing, Fox News\u2019 Peter Doocy questioned President Donald Trump if he was concerned about the quality of medical care provided to US presidents in light of Biden\u2019s late-stage diagnosis.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhite House doctors may have missed the early stages of his prostate cancer,\u201d Doocy told reporters. \u201cIs President Trump worried about the quality of care that presidents get here?\u201d<\/p>\n

Leavitt, 27, promptly rejected the concerns. \u201cNot as far as President Trump is concerned,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe White House physician we have here is phenomenal,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd the team at Walter Reed Medical Center is excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Leavitt went on to highlight Trump\u2019s recent physical checkup results. \u201cHe achieved flawless outcomes. He\u2019s in great form. I believe those of you who accompanied us to the Middle East last week can attest to the president\u2019s endurance.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also mentioned that Trump was back in the Oval Office working all day on Saturday, immediately after returning from his trip. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t stop, he doesn\u2019t quit, he\u2019s in great health, and he trusts his physicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While her words may have been intended to reassure the public about Trump\u2019s well-being, several viewers felt the tone inappropriate given Biden\u2019s critical diagnosis.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cShe came off as heartless and vindictive,\u201d one commenter stated. Another person noted that Trump looked to fall asleep several times during the trip Leavitt mentioned.<\/p>\n

The uproar erupted after Biden said that he had been diagnosed with a high-grade form of prostate cancer. According to a statement from his office, he had recently been evaluated after suffering urinary symptoms. Doctors identified a prostate nodule, and more tests revealed that the cancer had spread to his bones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis represents a more aggressive form of the disease,\u201d the statement said. However, the cancer is thought to be hormone-sensitive, which implies it could respond favorably to treatment.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s canc3r has been assigned a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), which is one of the highest possible values, signifying aberrant, rapidly developing cells.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While the cancer\u2019s exact stage has not been revealed, metastasis suggests it is in an advanced stage.<\/p>\n

He and his family are presently considering treatment options, which may include hormone therapy. The former president is now at home in Wilmington, Delaware, and has not specified where he will receive treatment.<\/p>\n

Despite the severity of the diagnosis, some medical professionals have voiced optimism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
