Donald Trump has raised questions over Joe Biden's health after it was announced that the former US president is suffering from prostate cancer.
The 82-year-old visited a doctor last week after experiencing urinary symptoms and was told that he has an 'aggressive' form of the disease, which sadly has already spread to his bones.
"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," a statement said.

Biden then released his own message on Twitter, saying: "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."
At first, Trump was able to put their differing politics aside and wished his former adversary all the best on social media.
He wrote: "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."
However, a new statement from the 47th president in the White House has seen him question the validity of Biden's diagnosis and suggest that things might not be as they seem.

The president was quizzed by a reporter at the White House yesterday evening over the news of Biden's diagnosis, and while he said it was 'very sad', he went on to raise questions.
Trump said: "I'm surprised that the public wasn't notified a long time ago because to get to stage nine, that's a long time.
"I think that if you look, it's the same doctor that said that Joe was cognitively fine. There was nothing wrong with him.
"Maybe it was the same doctor, and somebody is not telling the facts."
Trump went on to say there are 'things going on that the public wasn't informed of' which is 'very dangerous'.

The 78-year-old then took the opportunity to boast about his own physical health.
The president bragged that he 'aced' his own physical and cognitive tests, before concluding: "I think people should try and find out what happened."
