Shortened version without losing meaning:
A day after former President Joe Biden revealed he has aggressive prostate cancer, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt drew criticism for her tone. At a briefing, Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked if President Trump was concerned about the quality of presidential medical care, given Biden’s late-stage diagnosis.
Leavitt dismissed the concern, praising White House doctors and Walter Reed. She highlighted Trump’s “flawless” physical results and stamina during a recent Middle East trip, noting he returned to work immediately after.
While intended to reassure, many found her remarks insensitive given Biden’s condition. Critics called her tone “heartless,” with some pointing out Trump appeared tired during the trip.
Biden’s cancer, confirmed after tests for urinary symptoms, has spread to his bones. With a Gleason score of 9, it’s aggressive but hormone-sensitive, meaning it may respond to treatment. Biden is now home in Delaware, exploring therapy options. Some doctors remain hopeful.
