Scott Adams Pleads With Trump ‘To Help Save My Life’ — Trump Says He’s ‘On It’
Associated Press
President Donald Trump has responded to a plea from Scott Adams of Dilbert fame — after the author and cartoonist reached out for help with his medical emergency.
Adams posted to X that he was reaching out to the president “to help save my life.”
“He offered to help me if I needed it. I need it,” Adams wrote.
Adams explained:
As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer. My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called 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. 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.
Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who oversees the FDA, responded, “Scott. How do I reach you? The President wants to help.”
Trump then posted to Truth Social, “On it!”
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.
Adams said on a YouTube livestream in May, “I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has. I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones, but I’ve had it longer than he’s had it — well longer than he’s admitted having it. I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer.”
Adams, an ardent Trump supporter, expressed his sympathy for Biden after the former president’s diagnosis, saying, “I’d like to extend my respect and compassion for the ex-president and his family because they’re going through an especially tough time. It’s a terrible disease.”
