It should come as no surprise that Donald Trump Jr. lacks decency.
Following the awful news of President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, Donald Trump Jr. didn’t waste anytime showing the world how much of a complete douche he is.
At first, it appeared the alleged booger sugar abuser was following his father’s lead by “putting politics aside” and wishing Biden well.
Trump Jr. reposted a meme of Biden with the caption “Politics aside, we wish him a speedy recovery,” hours after the news broke that Biden is battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
At the time he wrote, “Agree 100%.”
That good would only last roughly three hours when he dropped another post mocking President Biden’s wife, former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, who holds a doctoral degree in education, pushing a conspiracy theory that is, as expected, taking off in MAGA land with Trump Jr. leading the charge.
“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???”
This masterclass in stupidity is now pinned to the top of his personal X page.
Uncle Joe has since given the American people an update on his diagnosis, writing on his personal social media accounts, “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
Donald Trump Jr. Is Getting Slammed On X
On the other hand, social media has been tearing Donald Trump Jr. to shreds for his tasteless post. “There’s no bottom for Don Jr. Truly despicable,” the Republican For Trump account on X, formerly Twitter, wrote.
“I lost both of my parents to Cancer. This is disgusting and an insult to every patient and family dealing with this insidious disease. Grow the fuck up,” another post read.
The Trump family is full of rotten apples.

Adrian Wojnarowski, the former lead NBA reporter for ESPN, stepped down from the role earlier this year to become the general manager of his alma mater’s men’s basketball team, St. Bonaventure. In a new interview, Wojnarowski, lovingly referred to as Woj by his colleagues and readers, shared that he’s been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is monitoring his health carefully.
Woj sat down with Sports Illustrated and shared with the publication what his next steps in life are after many years as ESPN’s top NBA insider. Woj was one of the leading sports reporters covering the NBA due to his ability to obtain breaking news ahead of other outlets and his sources offered reliable tips that led to published stories.
In the SI piece, Wojnarowski does reveal that while the diagnosis was indeed jarring, it wasn’t the reason he stepped away from his coveted role at ESPN. Instead, he framed it as a moment of clarity.
From SI:
The prognosis, Woj says, is good. “When you hear cancer, you think about it going through your body like Pac-Man,” Woj says. “Prostate cancer, it generally stays confined to your prostate and is typically slow growing.” He has no symptoms and says the cancer is “pretty limited in scope.” Active surveillance is the current treatment, which translates to quarterly checkups and regular monitoring. He’s been instructed to improve his eating habits, exercise more and get better sleep. Surgery is still a possibility, but for now doctors say the only reason to have it is if he can’t mentally deal with having the cancer inside him.
The sobering news aside, Wojnarowski also stated that he intends to enjoy life more and realizes that time is fleeting. One of his former ESPN colleagues, NFL insider Chris Mortensen, died in March of this year from throat cancer. After attending a memorial service for Mortensen in Arkansas this past May, the moment hammered home to Wojnarowski how unimportant the job was in comparison to spending time with loved ones.
“In the end, it’s just going to be your family and close friends. And it’s also, like, nobody gives a sh*t. Nobody remembers [breaking stories] in the end. It’s just vapor,” Woj said.
Amen to that.
