Instead, both men suggested Biden was less than forthcoming about his cancer diagnosis. Of course, neither man has any evidence to suggest that Biden was diagnosed with cancer more than 72 hours ago. But since when have facts ever gotten in either Trump or Vance's way?
Trump said of Biden's cancer, "I'm surprised that the public wasn't notified a long time ago because to get to Stage 9, that's a long time."
Because there was nothing to tell anyone. There is also no such thing as Stage 9 cancer. But again, Trump never lets facts get in the way of an argument.
Which brings me to Vance:
Whether the right time to have this conversation is now or at some point in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job. You can separate the desire for him to have the right health outcome with the recognition that whether it was doctors or whether there were staffers around the former president ‒ I don't think he was able to do a good job for the American people.
This is entirely disingenuous. Regardless of Biden's health, Vance would tell us he didn't think Biden was doing a good job for the American people. Kamala Harris is in good health. Vance told her to go to hell. The fact is Biden's cancer diagnosis came to pass just under four months after he left office. So Vance is being his usual cheap self.
Good, decent political rivals wish the other well when they are in poor health and that is the end of it. The fact that Trump and Vance are incapable of wishing former President Biden well without editorial comments demonstrates they are men without goodness or decency.
