Republican Representative Ronny Jackson (TX-13), who worked as Trump’s White House physician, raised alarm about Biden’s cognitive impairment earlier this year. He was joined in this opinion by about 40 other Republican members of the House. Regarding the situation, Biden received a letter.
“I was a White House physician to three U.S. Presidents, and I can tell you something isn’t right with Joe Biden’s cognitive state,” Jackson said on Facebook.
The following was an excerpt from the letter that was sent to Biden:
“We are worried about your cognitive and mental abilities. The American people have continuously lost faith in your ability to effectively and competently handle your duties as President of the United States.”
Joe is now doing so once more.
On Wednesday, he disclosed that he has cancer. He was talking to skin cancer treatment he received prior to becoming president, the White House press staff soon clarified.
The president revealed the startling health revelation while talking about pollutants from oil refineries close to his Claymont, Delaware, childhood home.
“That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer and why for the longest time Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation,” according to Biden.
Biden had treated “non-melanoma skin tumors” prior to taking office, according to a tweet from Washington Post columnist Glenn Kessler, according to deputy White House spokesman Andrew Bates, who directed The Post to the article.
How dumb is this tweet? Check out Biden's medical report. Before he became president, he'd had non-melanoma skin cancers removed. Has no one at @RNCResearch ever had this common procedure? https://t.co/TS9VWtKcYC https://t.co/itklkVZIor

It’s unclear why Biden specifically chose to discuss his cancer experience in the present tense.
Greg Price of XStrategies LLC responded to Kessler by saying, “He said ‘I have cancer’ in the present tense you absolute dips-t.”

Author Michael Malice, an anarchist, joked, “Don’t worry about Joe Biden having cancer, he is married to a doctor,” alluding to the first lady’s usage of the honorific “Dr.” to represent her 2007 doctorate in teaching.
Older persons who did not use sunscreen for a large portion of their youth have a high prevalence of skin cancer, which is typically not fatal.
According to the New York Post, “Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, issued a health report last year that didn’t refer to the president as suffering from any current cancers.”
Biden’s skin cancer was linked by O’Connor’s assessment to time spent in the sun rather than contact with chemicals employed by the oil sector.
More on this story via The Republic Brief:
“It is well-established that President Biden did spend a good deal of time in the sun in his youth,” O’Connor wrote of his patient, a former swimming pool lifeguard.
“He has had several localized, non-melanoma skin cancers removed with Mohs surgery before he started his presidency. These lesions were completely excised, with clear margins,” the doctor added.
However, O’Connor added, “there are no areas suspicious for skin cancer at this time.”
