Joseph "Beau" Robinette Biden III died of cancer in May of 2015. As a result, his father, Joseph "Joe" Robinette Biden Jr., made reference to curing cancer in a public appearance in Iowa on June 11.

People understood the importance for the former Vice President in light of the death of his eldest son and namesake from brain cancer. The younger Biden had been the 44th Attorney General of Maryland and also served the United States Army as a Major in the Army Judge Advocate General's Corps.

Watch Biden's comments here.

However Donald Trump Jr. found Biden's vow to cure the illness that killed his son something to mock during President Donald Trump's Orlando MAGA rally. Trump Jr. has served in his family's businesses and once co-hosted a reality show with his father.

Watch the President's namesake here.

People found Donald Jr.'s mocking of Biden's loss in extremely poor taste.

Independent Senator Angus King of Maine called Donald Jr.'s comments mocking Biden "outrageous."

But his father, Donald Trump Sr., saw it as an opportunity to make his own claims about what illnesses he would cure if reelected.

As part of his MAGA rally speech, President Trump said:

"We will push onward with new medical frontiers."
"We will come up with the cures to many, many problems, to many, many diseases, including cancer and others and we’re getting closer all the time."
"We will eradicate AIDS in America once and for all and we’re very close."

Watch his remarks here.

People took exception to Donald Sr.'s boast coming on the heels of Donald Jr.'s mocking of Biden making a lesser vow.

Many took to Twitter and tagged both Donald Jr. and Sr. with a message about both the son's mocking comment and the father's boast.

But some people had much smaller ambitions for the President.

President Trump used the Orlando MAGA rally as a chance to officially kick off his 2020 presidential campaign. His announcement came on the heels of conservative leaning paper Orlando Sentinel endorsing "Not Donald Trump" in 2020 with a scathing editorial and Quinnipiac University's latest Florida poll results showing Trump behind all the Democratic frontrunners.

Woman's Glowing Review Of Cream Cheese Goes Viral—But Not Because Of The Cream Cheese

Sometimes we come across something that's so good, and so much better than any other product of its kind, we just have to share it with the internet. We did the work to find it, so why not save other people the time?

That was exactly Tiktoker Janet Marie's intention when she shared a glowing recommendation of Temptee cream cheese, which she claimed was perfectly creamy and delicious, especially when compared with what's often smeared on bagels and slices of toast at restaurants and coffee shops.

TikToker Stunned After Her Attempt At Keeping Her Pipes From Freezing Completely Backfires

Anyone who has ever lived in a colder climate has likely heard the hack of leaving faucets lightly dripping overnight during the coldest months to prevent the pipes from freezing.

TikTokers Stunned After Running Sara Lee Bread Under Water Only For It To Act Exactly Like A Sponge

Bread is one of those things that most of us assume will be really difficult to make until we take a chance and test our abilities.

But the truth of the matter is, a simple, no-knead bread only has four ingredients: water, yeast, flour, and salt. Those four ingredients only need to be mixed in a bowl, covered, and left to rest for a few hours before baking and enjoying.
