The Biden Problem: Why No One Defends Him?

May 31, 2025

Biden’s cancer bombshell has rocked America. A media tornado has torn through the nation and shocked the world. Trump calls Biden a “Decrepit Corpse” propped up by the far left, claiming his presidency was actually run by radical liberals behind the scenes. Some believe it, others are unsure. Many are furious, heartbroken, confused, or paralyzed with fear. Still others retreat into denial and inaction. So, should we believe it?

The campaign against Biden has morphed from historical judgment into a nationwide public trial. Once hailed as the man fighting for the soul of America, Biden is now cursed by all sides—scrutinized alive, condemned to hell. How did that become the dominant narrative?

The alleged crime is no longer just age and senility—it’s cancer concealment. Mainstream media won’t let it go. Democrats are in purgatory. The core question must now be asked: Did Joe Biden deceive the American people?

Today, people across the left, center, and right fear Trump, but hate Biden. Fearing Trump is easy to understand. But where does all this hatred for Biden come from? Nixon resigned for cheating. Clinton was impeached over a setup. Bush left office with war failures and economic collapse. Yet none of them faced the kind of national fury Biden now does. How come?

In the previous episode, we examined how Trump and the media joined forces to bring Biden down. In this episode, we’ll break down the latest wave of accusations: why are the left, center, and right suddenly united in their hatred? In the next episode, we’ll look at the reckoning inside the Democratic Party: why Biden’s own people now see him as the man who doomed them all.

We begin with the core of the “betrayal” charge: Biden’s cancer diagnosis.

“Stage 9”

The anti-Biden coalition felt utterly vindicated at the news of Biden’s diagnosis. Trump furiously accused Biden of deceiving the nation for years. Anti-Biden Democrats readily agreed. “Trump is unreliable, but this time he’s not wrong”, opine some Democratic campaign operatives and media strategists, many with close ties to liberal outlets. Others even claimed Biden announced the cancer to deflect attention from a damaging scandal brought on by Tapper and Thompson’s new book.

Trump’s accusation of Biden deceiving the public has been the battle cry of the anti-Biden alliance. The cancer revelation immediately resonated across the left, center, and right. Even former skeptics now praise Trump for “telling it like it is.” The cancer news came as comforting “proof.”

On Monday, Trump told reporters: “The public wasn't notified a long time ago because to get to Stage 9, that's a long time." “Somebody is not telling the facts. That’s a big problem.” And the doctors lied, “It’s very dangerous for our country!”

Trump’s outbursts were a mix of ignorance and malice, outrageous even by his standards. But that’s the problem: disinformation is hard to refute because those spreading it are often just as ignorant—and just as malicious.

This time, though, Trump’s claims are remarkably easy to debunk.

There’s no such thing as “stage 9” cancer. Cancer staging goes from 0 to 4. But to the anti-Biden crowd, it didn’t matter if it was 4 or 9. If the conclusion feels right, the facts are irrelevant. Republicans used to defend Trump by saying: Don’t listen to what he says. Look at what he does. Trump did far worse than what he said. Now, the anti-Biden coalition says: “Forget what Trump got wrong—look at what Biden did.”

Facts, truth, and logic no longer matter. MAGAs are sure as hell Biden is guilty. Casual haters assume the worst. And the general public just sees a man who looks finished.

Assuming guilt without due process, especially for something like cancer, violates any decent standard of public discourse. Yes, the public has a right to know—but there’s also the question of privacy, humanity, and basic ethics.

To accuse Biden of a cover-up, three things must be proven: he had cancer long ago; he was diagnosed long ago; he intentionally hid it all along.

Biden’s cancer announcement did come amid a wave of anti-Biden attacks, fueled by a new book and media frenzy. And Stage 4 with metastasis is indeed serious. But is it sensible to claim a “cover-up”?

The biopsy was done on Friday. The announcement came on Sunday. What “cover-up”?

“Conspiracy”

Some claim Biden’s doctors conspired to hide his illness. Let’s look at the facts. When Biden ran in 2019, his campaign released a full medical summary. He had been treated for benign prostatic hyperplasia. No cancer.

BPH is a common, non-cancerous condition in elderly men. It may cause urination abnormalities. Treatments include drugs or minimally invasive procedures. It is not cancer and doesn’t lead directly to cancer.

His recent prostate cancer diagnosis came only after clear urinary symptoms appeared. Tests revealed it had already spread to the bones—an aggressive form. This suggests he likely had no routine cancer screening for a long time.

U.S. medical guidelines don’t recommend PSA screening for men over 70, due to the risk of overtreatment outweighing the benefits. Biden’s last PSA test was in 2014, and it came back negative. Presidential physicals don’t include all cancer screenings, and PSA tests themselves often yield false positives.

The medical consensus is that older men are more likely to die with than of prostate cancer, which often progresses silently unless symptoms like urinary pain or bone pain emerge, then it’s often already late-stage. Biden’s sudden symptoms and biopsy diagnosis follow a typical geriatric cancer trajectory.

Why ignoring clear medical explanations and insist on wrong doing? If he had long-term symptoms, why endure pain in silence and escape detection? Why accusing not just Biden but his family, staff, and doctors of conspiring? Was it a misdiagnosis? Fraud? Malpractice?

Accusing a team of doctors of lying en masse? It only happened in totalitarian states, like the USSR after Stalin’s death. Biden is still around and remains active. No other president and White House doctors have been treated this way. Why Biden?

Weaponizing his cancer to attack him crosses moral lines. It reveals not only medical ignorance but political depravity and media breakdown. Fox News has hyped a scene from the Tapper-Thompson book Original Sin, claiming Biden and his entire family and staff conspired to cover up his son Beau’s brain cancer. That’s false. Beau Biden’s illness and 2015 death were made public in a timely fashion.

Everyone has a right to family privacy. Why is Biden the only one denied basic dignity and privacy?

“Elder Abuse”

Joe Biden lost his son in his later years — a pain that never leaves. Yet the MAGA camp spent years tormenting him through relentless investigations and legal actions against his surviving son. When news broke of Biden’s serious illness, they intensified the cruelty, dredging up his grief and using a simple slip of the tongue to accuse him of dementia. It violated not just political norms but human decency, quite normal in the MAGA universe.

Leo Terrell — a former Fox pundit and Trump DOJ senior official — alleges that Jill Biden was forcing her husband to run for re-election despite his declining health and calls for criminal prosecution: “Elder Abuse! Criminal Charges??” Donald Trump Jr. joined in, questioning how Jill could possibly miss the signs of her husband’s illness. Some Democrats brand Jill the “MacBiden” — a twisted reference to Lady Macbeth, full of ambition and cruelty.

The political discourse in America has descended into savage, dehumanizing territory， shattering norms, dragging in family members, obliterating the line between scrutiny and sadism, and turning illness and grief into weapons. What Biden is enduring — politically and personally — has no precedent. This isn’t accountability — it’s cruelty and moral collapse. Journalism should inform, not deform.

America has a Christian heritage, even with church-state separation. The teaching to love one's enemies runs deep. Trump doesn’t believe in anything but himself. His base includes many fake Christians who spew hate in the name of faith. That they curse and vilify Biden isn’t just unjust — it’s now disturbingly normalized.

It’s not just MAGA. Worse, senior Republicans, parts of the left-wing press, and even some Democrats have joined the ritual humiliation of Biden. Why? Is he truly detestable? Or is it because he is too restrained? Or perhaps because America itself has grown mean, unforgiving, and morally hollow?

Trump, for all his bile, has a judicious duty as a former president. When Biden called to express support after Trump’s assassination attempt, it wasn’t sentimentality — it was duty and decency. Trump hasn’t called Biden after the diagnosis was announced. After a perfunctory post, he resumed attacking with venom of hate.

Biden, one of the longest-serving senators, had friends across the aisle. Many watched him lose his wife and daughter, take the oath in a hospital beside his injured sons, raise them as a single father, and later bury one of them. Though some, like Lindsey Graham, now a MAGA attack dog, show no sign of memory or mercy.

Even Democrats haven’t been immune to Biden hatred. Leo Terrell, now a Trump loyalist, was once a Democrat. What kind of political strife allows for this level of cruelty?

A week after the diagnosis, Biden attended his grandson’s graduation. He looked sanguine and beaming — no trace of defeat. Like Jimmy Carter before him, Biden is a man of faith, family, patriotism, and service. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Watching the mainstream media abandon its last shreds of humanity… It's gut-wrenching. Is this still America, the nation of compassion, justice, dignity, and private respect? Or has something rotted beyond repair?

Hate and Harm

Hating Biden and fearing Trump has become the norm. Trump hates Biden, fans up the fury, and leads the crusade. Trump rants against Biden multiple times daily, calling him corrupt, weak, and evil. Biden is to blame for all of America’s problems.

Why? Because Biden beat Trump. Because Biden’s record outshines Trump’s.

It’s not just Trump. The media, the far left, the far right—all have been swept up. From Day One, “blame Biden” and “block Biden” became the bipartisan playbook. Immigration reform and the Afghanistan withdrawal were two prime examples.

The first bill Biden pushed was the Citizenship Act of 2021 — the largest immigration reform since Reagan’s era — but it was opposed by both parties in Congress and died on arrival. Trump had so racialized the immigration issue that moderate lawmakers were too intimidated to support it.

In 2023-24, Biden tried again, compromising to gain broad bipartisan Senate support. Just as the bill was about to pass, Trump intervened: “If this bill passes and Biden scores on immigration, it’s bad for my 2024 campaign.” Speaker Mike Johnson “would rather die than let it pass.” Senate GOP dropped support, killing the bill.

Derailing immigration reform was to aid Trump running from criminal prosecution by beefing up his reelection chances. And sabotaging the Afghanistan withdrawal was a trap Trump deliberately left. Both times, the mainstream media helped distort facts, blaming Biden, and downplaying Trump’s obstruction.

In 2020, Trump bypassed the Afghan government and negotiated directly with the Taliban. The Doha Agreement made major concessions, promising full withdrawal by May 2021 if the Taliban cut ties with Al Qaeda and stopped attacking Afghan civilians and military. Despite the Taliban's failure to honor any commitments, Trump released 5,000 Taliban prisoners, leaving only 2,500 US troops, setting conditions for the Taliban’s swift comeback.

Trump boasted publicly that he “left Biden no way out.” Biden indeed inherited a deadly dilemma: either escalate and prolong the war or follow through on withdrawal agreements. The withdrawal was delayed until August. The Taliban quickly took Kabul. The Afghan government and army collapsed. Thirteen US soldiers died in chaos from a suicide bombing by ISIS-K, the Taliban’s enemy.

Media blamed the chaotic withdrawal entirely on Biden, causing his approval ratings to plummet and never fully recover. Left-leaning media attacked Biden relentlessly, while right-wing media blew things out of proportion. Trump emerged unscathed, while Biden has borne the full brunt, with the horrific airport scenes stuck in people’s minds.

Blocking Biden’s policies, undermining him and US troops, and fueling hatred all serve one goal: keeping Trump in the game and Biden in the dirt. Immigration sank Biden’s support, and Afghanistan was sealed into Biden’s original sins, despite what Trump had done.

The sabotage and hatred feed each other: hatred fuels obstruction, obstruction amplifies hatred. None of it makes logical sense. But emotionally? Politically? It worked spectacularly. Trump screams, and many follow in hating Biden. But is Biden really that detestable?

The Price of Hate

It is no baseless claim to say that mainstream media hate Biden. When the media all speak with one voice, there are only two possibilities: either the evidence is overwhelming, or they’ve found a common enemy.

There’s no evidence of national betrayal—so the media must truly despise Biden.

And the double standards are glaring: Trump’s chaos is normalized; Biden’s missteps are treated as crimes. Everyone uses Biden as a punching bag to appear fair and balanced. Republicans. Democrats. The press.

They don’t dare go after Trump. But they dare not abuse Biden—because they’re afraid. The media fears Trump. Trump fears Biden. Biden fears God. And who does God fear? God fears the media.

When there’s only one voice, it’s not consensus—it’s monopoly. And monopoly breeds tyranny. Trump and the media both monopolize discourse, with even social media algorithms making way for legacy media. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and spirals inward, dragging a whole nation into cynicism. Trump’s and the media’s approval ratings are both abysmal—nobody really likes either.

For those in power, “Is it better to be loved or feared?” Machiavelli answered: “If you can’t have both, it’s safer to be feared.” Both Trump and the media need to be feared, both monarchs without crowns. Biden fears neither, and that’s why they hate him.

Why does the left-wing media hate Biden? More reasons than just fearing Trump. Let’s go through them one by one:

He’s too moderate and centrist, while the left media and progressive base are ideological kin, naturally allergic to compromise, incrementalism, and moderation. Progressives believe America is in a systemic collapse: climate, inequality, healthcare, police violence—all in crisis. They see Biden’s slow and steady patches as weak. But if not gradual progress, how else do you defeat Trump and fix the problems?

He’s establishment, prioritizing “unity, consensus, restoring institutions” over radical reform. They want Trump punished, the Supreme Court restructured, and Wall Street cracked down. They sneer at Third Way Democrats’ incrementalism. Biden, meanwhile, calls to “heal the soul of the nation” and return to political normalcy. But without unity and compromise, how do you pass any new laws?

He supports Israel, provoking backlash from young progressives who accuse him of “endorsing genocide.” Though Biden canceled some student loan debt, it wasn’t enough. But what other plan would have been more feasible?

He trusts the system. As fascism rises and democracy faces historic threats, the left sees Biden as slow and naïve, still believing the system can self-correct. Even as the Trumpified Supreme Court radicalizes and the Senate blocks legislation, Biden resists removing procedural barriers like the filibuster. So what’s the alternative? Revolution? Rebellion? Trump-style chaos?

He speaks in “boomer language”: middle class, common sense, democratic norms—not “racial justice,” “climate crisis,” or “wealth redistribution.” Progressives see him as a fixer for a dying system, the gatekeeper preventing radical reform. Strong enough to avoid collapse, never enough to fix the root. But what’s wrong with upholding the middle class, common sense, and rules?

He’s too old and frail to beat Trump. Every stumble, every gaffe, every misstep becomes a headline. The left media watches like hawks, amplifying every moment. Even late-night comedians still pair Biden with Trump’s scandals, dragging him into ridicule. He’s out of office—and they still won’t let him go?

He lacks clickbait appeal. Low on drama, slow pacing, not “exciting.” To the media, he’s boring—unlike Trump, a ratings engine who drives views and sells ads. Now must every president be a showman above all?

He doesn’t flatter the media—he’s “unfriendly.” Unlike Obama or Trump, Biden doesn’t play the media game: no exclusives, no Twitter storms, no engineered viral moments. He issues White House press releases. Media folks feel starved. He doesn’t butter them up—so they bash him?

He ran for reelection and refused to quit. They see it as power thirst. Is that the only explanation?

A president who served humbly and faithfully gets the harshest treatment, does the hardest work, and endures the dirtiest abuse — simply because he’s not radical or chic enough. They hate him so much that even his achievements are twisted into reasons to mock or sabotage him.

The media and partisans who hate Biden mostly lack faith, principles, or vision. They rarely consider the peace of the soul. Biden’s name and legacy will endure in the history books. The anti-Biden noise will be just that—noise, which eventually vanishes in obscurity. The rivers of history flow on.

For the Democrats, Biden is still the mountain they must cross. Was his run for reelection an ego-driven mistake, as called? Did his late quit show arrogance, oblivion and power thirst and cause Trump to win back the White House? Next episode, we’ll look at the love-hate drama between Biden and his own party.
