Donald Trump and Joe Biden have received well-wishes from a number of prominent people, including Donald Trump. However, some online trolls have spoken poorly and Piers Morgan has criticized them.
Piers Morgan has urged people to “show some respect” following the news that former US president Joe Biden was diagnosed with an ‘aggressive form’ of prostate cancer.
The shock diagnosis comes after the 82-year-old was admitted to hospital last week for the investigation of a “prostate nodule”, news which, at the time, raised few eyebrows as doctors planned to conduct “further evaluation”. Officials confirmed yesterday that the anomaly was grade 5 prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 9 that had metastasised to the ex Commander-in-Chief’s bones.
Despite the seriousness of the diagnosis, Biden’s medical team has discovered that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, which could lead to the development of effective treatment options. In managing such cases, hormone therapy can frequently be effective when combined with other therapies like radiation or surgery.

A number of high profile figures have sent their well wishes to Mr Biden and his family, including Donald Trump. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said: “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.”
On the news of Biden’s diagnosis, Trump’s fellow Republicans also made comments. Senator Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, expressed her sadness over President Biden’s diagnosis and his family’s success as he begins his treatment. Thom Tillis, a Republican senator from North Carolina, expressed his desire for a full recovery.
But, sadly it seems a number of online trolls have been “mocking and celebrating” Mr Biden’s health news. Taking to X, formerly known as Twittrer, Piers Morgan urged people to “show some respect”.
The journalist and media personality said on X: “I’m going to block anyone I see because Joe Biden’s health news is already full of this vile crap flying around.” The man has spent 50 years fighting for his life in his country. Show some ferocious respect.
One of his 8.8 million followers responded, “I agree Piers, it’s sickening that people want to tear someone down when they are sick.” Although I don’t agree with most of Biden’s choices, he is human. Our humanity has vanished. That distinguishes us from one another; “hate only breeds hatred,”
Biden’s family and his healthcare team are currently collaborating to determine the best course of action. This most recent diagnosis comes in response to a 2023 health update that successfully removed a cancerous skin lesion without needing any additional medical care.
