At a briefing, Fox News\u2019 Peter Doocy asked if President Trump was concerned about the quality of presidential medical care, given Biden\u2019s late-stage diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt dismissed the concern, praising White House doctors and Walter Reed. She highlighted Trump\u2019s \u201cflawless\u201d physical results and stamina during a recent Middle East trip, noting he returned to work immediately after.<\/p>\n<p>While intended to reassure, many found her remarks insensitive given Biden\u2019s condition. Critics called her tone \u201cheartless,\u201d with some pointing out Trump appeared tired during the trip.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s cancer, confirmed after tests for urinary symptoms, has spread to his bones. With a Gleason score of 9, it&#8217;s aggressive but hormone-sensitive, meaning it may respond to treatment. Biden is now home in Delaware, exploring therapy options.
