Claim by Social Media:
In May 2025, Donald Trump Jr. posted on X questioning how “Dr. Jill Biden” could have missed former President Joe Biden’s aggressive metastatic cancer.
Explanation:
This claim is accurate. According to Snopes, Donald Trump Jr. did in fact make this statement in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The comment was a rhetorical jab aimed at Jill Biden’s doctorate in education, not medicine, implying she should have recognized the illness in her husband. The post garnered attention for both its tone and implications regarding the former First Lady’s credentials.
While the statement was real and correctly attributed, it has been criticized for misrepresenting Jill Biden’s professional background and for politicizing a serious health issue.
Conclusion:
Fact or Fiction? True. Donald Trump Jr. did make the comment questioning how “Dr. Jill Biden” missed Joe Biden’s cancer, as confirmed by Snopes.
