The 47-year-old shared his initial response on X (formerly Twitter), by resharing an image that read 'BREAKING: Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Politics aside, we wish him a speedy recovery!', and adding the caption 'Agreed 100%'.

President Donald Trump trusts White House doctors despite Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt assured reporters that Trump's health is excellent.

The former president released his first statement on X Monday morning, alongside a picture of him and his wife, Jill Biden, a day after the announcement: “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
