The 82-year-old ex-president’s shock announcement on Sunday that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer sparked an outpouring of good wishes, including from Trump himself, Biden’s vice president Kamala Harris and ordinary Americans.
“Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
