Trump Says He’s Intervening to Save Life Of Big-Name Conservative

President Donald J. Trump confirmed Sunday that he is personally assisting “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams as Adams seeks urgent access to cancer treatment that his healthcare provider has repeatedly failed to schedule.

Adams had publicly appealed to the President earlier in the day, explaining that bureaucratic delays have prevented him from receiving a recently FDA-approved prostate cancer therapy. Trump immediately responded, reposting Adams’s message on X with the assurance: “on it.”

Adams, who has been open about his cancer battle, said his situation has become dire.

“On Monday, I will ask President Trump, via X, to help save my life. He offered to help me if I needed it. I need it,” Adams wrote. “As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer.”

He explained that while Kaiser of Northern California has approved him to receive the new drug Pluvicto, the hospital system has failed to schedule the IV infusion necessary to begin treatment.

“But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that,” he said.

“I am declining fast,” Adams continued. “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.”

President Trump did not hesitate to intervene — a move that underscored his reputation among supporters as someone who cuts through bureaucracy when lives are at stake.

The President also renewed criticism of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), pointing to her well-documented statements expressing loyalty to her native country of Somalia over the United States.

“She should go back!” Trump posted on Truth Social, alongside a video of Omar saying her “allegiance would always be with her native country.”

The footage has been widely shared on conservative platforms, sparking new scrutiny of Omar’s conduct and rhetoric in Congress.

Omar, who arrived in the United States as a refugee and became a citizen in 2000, has long been one of Trump’s sharpest critics. However, her public remarks — including frequent attacks on the United States and its allies — have fueled calls for her removal from office and even a review of her citizenship status.

Trump pointed out last month that even Somalia’s leadership expressed no interest in her return.

“You know, I met the head of Somalia, did you know that?” Trump told reporters. “And I suggested that maybe he’d like to take her back.”
“He said, ‘I don’t want her.’”

Omar, speaking Friday on “The Dean Obeidallah Show,” dismissed concerns about being removed from the country.

“I have no worry,” she said. “I don’t know how they’d take away my citizenship and, like, deport me.”

“But I don’t even know why that’s such a scary threat,” she added. “I’m not the 8-year-old who escaped war anymore. I’m grown, my kids are grown. I could go live wherever I want if I wanted to.”

Her comments came as she faced backlash for sharing a video accusing Sen. John Kennedy and others of denying “the genocide happening in Palestine” — criticism many saw as inflammatory and deeply divisive.
