I wonder if this is one of those "accusations that are really admissions" situations and trump's currently hiding a terminal diagnosis.

Yes, and we can only wish that he were hiding it better.
Trump appeared to conflate the Gleason score — a measurement of how aggressive cancer cells appear to be — with the stage of Biden's cancer. Biden's Gleason score was 9, indicating it is aggressive. He has Stage 4 cancer, the most serious of the four stages. (There is not a Stage 9 cancer.)
Trump saying he was at 'stage 9' and hid it. This is a great example of how he does what he does. When asked a question he whips up these semi-plausible sounding lines of bullshit directly on the spot to criticize whomever his target of the moment is, and before anyone can parse out what he just said to correct it he's moved onto the next line.
I'm not even going to argue the suggestion. I will only ask so the fuck what if it's true? Is he not allowed time to deal with this in private? Maybe fight it in private?
If he'd come out with it earlier, wouldn't you then complain that it was for sympathy or to manipulate the election or something? So why open your fat orange mouth then?
I mean it's a personal medical diagnosis. He's not obligated to share it all really
What do you think the guy who has been undergoing medicals like every month suddenly has late-stage prostate cancer?
right? trump is right on this one but also why does it matter?
Broken clock...
Them announcing it literal days before the book about how everyone hid Biden's health issues is pretty clearly an attempt to turn it into a sympathy thing, rather than something insane the old leadership of the DNC, Biden's admin, and the mainstream media colluded on.
It already caused the DNC to turn away from neoliberals, but this is still part of the neoliberals damage control.
