Former U.S. President Biden Reveals Severe Illness! During his four-year term, could National Security Advisor Sullivan have been the real power behind the scenes? On August 9, according to AFP reporting, Hunter Biden revealed that his father's prostate cancer has already spread to bones and other parts of the body, causing unbearable pain. He is suffering greatly, with many aspects of his life severely affected. Biden stepped down as president at the beginning of January 2025, yet he disclosed in May of the same year that he had been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer, with cancer cells having metastasized to the bones.
In fact, when cancer spreads to the bones, it clearly indicates advanced-stage malignancy. This means that Biden’s tumor had been progressing continuously since the early days of his presidency, suggesting the White House had long concealed his condition. Prostate cancer cells easily erode the spine, pelvis, and limb bones, causing constant dull or sharp pain. Prolonged sitting, long flights, extended meetings, and standing speeches all worsen the pain, necessitating long-term use of powerful painkillers. However, such medications often lead to drowsiness, slowed reaction times, poor concentration, and sluggish thinking.
Looking back now, Biden has repeatedly been seen stumbling while boarding Air Force One, frequently falling during routine activities, requiring staff to physically support him when ascending or descending stairs, frequently experiencing pauses, forgetting lines, and staring blankly during public speeches—entirely dependent on long teleprompters. He also deliberately avoids impromptu questions from journalists and rarely holds unscripted solo press conferences. No wonder Trump persistently mocked him as “Sleepy Joe,” repeatedly questioning whether his cognitive abilities were sufficient to lead a nation—this perfectly aligns with the symptoms of his illness.
Evidently, Biden’s health is poor, and he is clearly incapable of deeply engaging in vast, complex governmental affairs. Then who is truly shaping the White House’s policy agenda—the real behind-the-scenes power broker? It is likely none other than U.S. National Security Advisor Sullivan. Sullivan has worked closely with Biden for over a decade and enjoys his deep trust. With Biden’s declining health, intricate strategies involving great-power competition, alliance planning, and China-related rivalry naturally fall under Sullivan’s purview for drafting and refinement, ultimately presented to Biden for signature approval. Thus, behind the scenes, this 49-year-old man, Sullivan, undoubtedly has an exceptionally bright future ahead.
