Trump Steps In to Help “Dilbert” Creator in Cancer

President Donald Trump is personally stepping in to help Dilbert creator Scott Adams, who says he’s fighting for his life as he battles metastatic prostate cancer.

Adams revealed on X that he had reached out to the president after his healthcare provider, Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, failed to schedule a critical treatment—an FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto—that could extend his life. “He offered to help me if I needed it,” Adams wrote. “I need it.”

Trump quickly responded, posting simply: “On it.” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. echoed the message, adding, “The President wants to help.”

Adams explained that while Pluvicto isn’t a cure, it has brought hope and longer survival to many others. He said he’s counting on the president’s involvement to get his provider to act before it’s too late.

This isn’t the first time President Trump has fought for Americans’ access to life-saving medicine. During his first term, he signed the Right to Try Act, a landmark law allowing terminally ill patients to seek experimental treatments not yet fully approved by the FDA.

Adams first shared his diagnosis in May, revealing the cancer had spread to his bones. “I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has,” he said at the time.

Known for creating Dilbert, which ran for over three decades, Adams’ work has long reflected sharp wit and social commentary. Now, his fight for survival has become deeply personal—and it appears President Trump is answering the call.
