Trump extendss sympathy after Biden cancer diagnosis – but it doesn’t last long

The president wished his predecessor well but has since reverted to attacks - and dabbled in conspiracy theories

After Joe Biden revealed his cancer diagnosis, Donald Trump offered an uncharacteristically empathetic and simple response.

Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery," Trump wrote on social media.
