Trump responds after Dilbert creator makes last-ditch plea
Share and Follow

Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have expressed their willingness to assist Scott Adams, the creator of “Dilbert,” as he battles an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Adams recently shared that his condition is worsening rapidly.

Scott Adams, who publicly shared his diagnosis in March after President Joe Biden revealed his own battle with the same type of cancer, has been approved for a new FDA-approved medication called Pluvicto. Adams is hopeful this treatment could extend his life.

Unfortunately, Adams has reported difficulties with his healthcare provider, Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, accusing them of mishandling the scheduling for his IV treatment, and he has been unable to secure a new appointment.

“I am declining fast,” Adams acknowledged, noting that while Pluvicto is not a cure, it has shown promising results for many patients.

At 68, the cartoonist turned to social media to appeal directly to Donald Trump for help, leveraging his longstanding support of the former President to garner assistance.

‘I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer.’

The president has immediately responded, writing to Truth Social on Sunday: ‘On it!’ 

Kennedy replied to Adams’ tweet himself: ‘Scott. How do I reach you? The President wants to help.’

White House Deputy Chief of Staff also sprung into action, writing: ‘No need till [sic] wait until Monday – @realDonaldTrump, @RobertKennedyJr, and @DrOz are all tracking now, Scott.’ 

Adams has yet to comment further.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment. 

Adams announced the shock diagnosis in a Rumble stream in March as he said, like Biden, he has prostate cancer ‘that has also spread to my bones.’ 

The comic strip icon heartbreakingly revealed that doctors have told him he does not have long to live, and he ‘expects to be checking out sometime this summer.’ 

Adams had kept his cancer battle quiet, and although he did not say when he was diagnosed with the disease, he said he has ‘had it longer than (Biden) has had it.’ 

‘Well, longer than he’s admitted to having it,’ he added. 

The quip about when Biden was diagnosed with his stage 4 cancer comes as medical experts quickly questioned how the former president’s condition was able to progress so severely without it being previously detected. 

The writer, 68, announced that on Monday, he will take to social media and plead with Donald Trump for help. Adams is a longtime Trump supporter

Tributes poured in for Adams after he announced his shock cancer diagnosis. 

Conservative commentator Robby Starbuck urged his followers to ‘lift him up in prayer’ as he shared his surprise at Adams’ short prognosis. 

‘Scott Adams is a rare man who impacted so many people that he will never really know the gravity of it,’ he wrote. 

‘As he says here, his life expectancy is not likely to go past this summer but I hope it brings (him) some peace to know he’ll live on through those of us he impacted. 

‘Everyone please lift him up in prayer and tell him now while he’s alive just how meaningful he’s been to your life. Don’t wait until he passes to do that.’ 

Adams’ much-loved ‘Dilbert’ comics have been in circulation since 1989 and frequently pokes fun at office culture.

However, in recent years, he’s been taken to task by outraged liberals over his conservative views. 

In 2023, Penguin Random House dropped Adams’s self-help book following a racist rant in which he branded black people a ‘hate group.’

Adams’s new book Reframe Your Brain was set to be published in September by Portfolio — the business imprint of Penguin Random House, but on Monday the embattled cartoonist tweeted: ‘My publisher for non-Dilbert books has canceled my upcoming book and the entire backlist.’

‘My book agent canceled me too,’ he noted.

Adams lamented the loss of his book publisher online, while claiming he still has ‘not seen any disagreement about my point of view.’

He has previously published books like Loserthink: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America and How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big.

Later that year, Dilbert was canned by 77 newspapers after its creator Scott Adams started incorporating anti-woke plotlines, including a black character who identifies as white. 

Adams is believed to be worth nearly $70million – a fortune he amassed thanks to the popularity of his characters, as well as his non-Dilbert related works. 

His satirical strips feature in newspapers across 57 countries, and in 19 languages – and there are over 20 million Dilbert books and calendars in print.
