Trump Says He's 'On It' After Cartoonist Scott Adams Asks for Cancer Treatment Intervention

President Donald Trump said he would personally intervene to try to help a prominent supporter with his cancer treatment.

Scott Adams, who created the workplace-set comic strip ‘Dilbert’ in 1989 and who revealed in May that he had prostate cancer that had spread to his bones and expected to only live months longer, said in a social media post on Sunday that he would be asking Trump for help to bring forward his treatment schedule from Kaiser Permanente, after the California-based healthcare provider “dropped the ball” in scheduling his intravenous infusion. The cartoonist said he had been approved to be treated with Pluvicto, a targeted radioligand therapy used to treat prostate cancer that was approved by the FDA in 2022. Adams appealed to Trump to reach out to Kaiser and get them to “respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer.”

You are getting crappy service. If you weren’t so cheap and chose Medicare with a supplement a major hospital would have scheduled you.

Scott Adams second wife, Kristina Basham, filed for divorce after two years of marriage.

I hope she takes him for everything he's worth,

No, right about now he feels abandoned by everyone, so he turning to the one person he can count on when times are tough – The Grand Dragon, his Grand Exchequer JD Vance, and the Grand scribe Stephen Miller

If only we had cancer research. He could get into a clinical trial for the medication. But that got cut under DOGE. Oh, well. Elections have consequences.
