President Biden diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer

It is a 9 out of 10 on the Gleason scale giving it a very high risk of spreading.

Sad news of course. This will unfortunately boost those who were saying that this man should have stepped down by the time of the Primary. Halfway into his first year as president and forced to step down would not have done much for the popularity of the Dems. It may have even given some serious ammo to Trump or Vance in 2028 as you know that MAGA would have been very annoyed at having Harris forced upon them.

Given his role in Israel's campaign of genocide, I won't exactly be broken up about it. Still would rather it happen to the Republican President or Musky though.

I am sure MAGA will use it as a weapon against Democrats. Even though Biden was diagnosed now and not during his own presidency. I am sure MAGA will come up with a conspiracy theory that this was also withheld from the public and was known.

The imagine if Trump got some life threatening ailment and how much they woukd come to defend him. Saying Democrats are in glee over Trump having cancer, heart problems or whatever.

Also I expect Trump to say something that is pretty much non-diplomatic is all kinds of ways. Because that is what he does. He won't hesitate to do that.
I got nothing to say here.
