Scott Adams Asks Trump for Help in Fighting His Cancer, and Gets It
Skip to comments
Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams is asking President Trump to intervene on his behalf to obtain quicker treatment for his metastasized prostate cancer.
He wrote in a post on X that his healthcare provider, Kaiser Permanente – Northern California, approved his application to receive a new FDA-approved drug Pluvicto.
“But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that. I am declining fast,” Adams wrote.
“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. It is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people.”
A number of Trump administration officials and other high-powered individuals responded. The likes of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino Jr., Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Chairman Bill Pulte, Los Angeles Times CEO Pat Soon-Shiongand, and Mehmet Oz. And the President himself.
The Daily Mail is among the plethora of conservative outlets carrying the story.
Adams’ much-loved ‘Dilbert’ comics have been in circulation since 1989 and frequently pokes fun at office culture.
In 2023, however, 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.
The most recent reporting from Mediaite:
Dr. Afshine Emrani with the health system also responded, writing, “Hi @RobertKennedyJr @realDonaldTrump @ScottAdamsSays Kaiser is paying attention. The medical directors are on this now.”
That post followed one he sent to Adams previously saying there was no need to involve the president.
“Dear @ScottAdamsSays I reached out. All medical directors of Kaiser Foundation are now aware of the urgency of what you need. They will contact you TODAY. No need for @realDonaldTrump We got you. Bless you. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he wrote.
