Danica Patrick entertains Donald Trump Jr's theory on Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis
After former U.S. President Joe Biden's representatives revealed that the 82-year-old has prostate cancer, NASCAR legend Danica Patrick gave a coy reaction.
Motorsports legend Danica Patrick appeared to share the view of Donald Trump Jr. after the son of the U.S. president presented a theory in relation to Joe Biden's recent cancer diagnosis. The former president's representatives confirmed on Monday that the 82-year-old is suffering from prostate cancer.
The former Oval Office incumbent's cancer has spread to his bones, with the Gleason Score for his illness currently at a nine - indicating it is aggressive and "high-grade". The Democratic Party stalwart's team confirmed that the politician and his family are reviewing treatment options at this time.
A host of high-profile fellow political figures expressed their sympathy for President Biden and his loved ones at this time, with former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris sending their well-wishes. Current U.S. President Donald Trump also spoke of his "sadness" at learning the news of Biden's illness.

However, his son, Trump Jr. forwarded what appeared to be a conspiracy theory on the situation, quoting some observations from Dr Steven Quay. NASCAR icon Patrick re-posted this post on her Instagram Stories, with Trump Jr. having said: "What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???"
Dr Quay had opined: "Prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases. The PSA blood test shows the rate of cancer cell growth.
"For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic. Meaning, it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025.
"It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed.
Biden's office had released the following statement on the former president's illness: "Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.
"While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management."
Meanwhile, President Trump took to his Truth Social platform to post: "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."
