Adams has often commented on political matters, although in 2016 he wrote on his blog "I don't vote and I am not a member of a political party."[36] In 2007, he suggested that Michael Bloomberg would make a good presidential candidate.[37] Before the 2008 presidential election he said, "On social issues, I lean Libertarian, minus the crazy stuff",[38] but said in December 2011 that, if he were president, he would do whatever Bill Clinton advised him to do because that "would lead to policies that are a sensible middle ground".[39] On October 17, 2012, he wrote "while I don't agree with Romney's positions on most topics, I'm endorsing him for president".[40] In a blog post from September 2017, Adams described himself as being "left of Bernie, but with a preference for plans that can work".[41]

In 2015, although Adams stated that he would not endorse a candidate for the 2016 elections, he repeatedly praised Donald Trump's persuasion skills, especially on his blog,[42][43] extensively detailing what he called Trump's "talent stack",[44] the then-candidate's unusual skill set combination. Adams predicted that Trump would win the Republican nomination and the general election.[45]

Of the 2016 Democratic National Convention, he said the following: "If you're an undecided voter, and male, you're seeing something different. You're seeing a celebration that your role in society is permanently diminished. And it's happening in an impressive venue that was, in all likelihood, designed and built mostly by men."[46] Adams said that he temporarily endorsed Hillary Clinton out of fear for his own life, stating that he had received direct and indirect death threats ("Where I live, in California, it is not safe to be seen as supportive of anything Trump says or does. So I fixed that." In late September, however, Adams switched his endorsement from Clinton to Trump. Among his primary reasons for the switch were his respect for Trump's persuasion skills over Clinton's, Clinton's proposal to raise the inheritance tax, and his concerns over Clinton's health.[48] Adams states that being labelled a 'Donald Trump apologist' ended his public speaking career and reduced his income by about 40%.[47]

On July 1, 2020, Adams predicted that Republicans would be hunted if Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.
