    I checked the Conservative subreddit to see what their reaction was and it’s pretty sympathetic. This made me laugh though

      As if this isn’t the most basic norm of the presidency?

      Has any other president trashed an ex presidents diagnosis (or something similar)?

        Cancer doesn’t care about ideology, but it sure seems like one ideology in the US cares about giving you cancer and denying treatment for it.

        If cancer could vote, it would vote Republican.

          Yes. That’s a big reason why a democrat posting in r/conservative calling them classy and wonderful almost made me puke.
