**President Trump Offers Help to “Dilbert” Creator Scott Adams for Access to Prostate Cancer Drug**

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he plans to assist Scott Adams, the creator of the satirical comic strip *Dilbert*, in gaining access to a prostate cancer drug.

Early Sunday morning, Adams, known for his office humor and controversial opinions livestreamed on YouTube, posted on X that he intended to ask President Trump for help. He mentioned that Trump had already offered assistance to save his life.

“As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer,” Adams wrote. He explained that his healthcare provider, Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, had approved his application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. This targeted therapy for metastatic prostate cancer was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in March for earlier use in treatment.

However, Adams stated that Kaiser had “dropped the ball” in scheduling the brief IV treatment needed to administer Pluvicto, and despite his efforts, he was unable to get the appointment scheduled. He requested the president’s help in securing the treatment for Monday.

Hours later, Trump posted a screenshot of Adams’ request on his Truth Social platform with the message, “On it!”

In addition, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded from his personal X account, asking Adams for contact information and writing, “The President wants to help.”

Kaiser Permanente of Northern California did not respond to requests for comment, and neither the White House nor the Department of Health and Human Services provided updates about the next steps.

Adams had announced in May that he was battling the “same cancer” as President Biden and stated he expected to die sometime this year. His *Dilbert* comic strip was dropped by its distributors in 2023 after Adams posted a racist rant on YouTube, in which he called Black people a “hate group.”

Despite this, Adams has continued to livestream daily on YouTube, sharing his political views. In his May announcement about his cancer diagnosis, he revealed that he had tried anti-parasitic medications ivermectin and fenbendazole as treatments, but they were ineffective. It’s important to note that there is no scientific evidence supporting ivermectin as a cancer treatment.
