I can tell you EXACTLY how and why Trump would "help" MAGAt cartoonist Scott "Dilbert" Adams, who's BEGGING him [View all]

1). Adams became an EXTREMELY VOCAL MAGAt. People who ARE NOT MAGAts don't like extremely vocal MAGAt cartoonists in the same way that they don't like Kid Rock or Lee Greenwood. The percentage of "like" is "0."

2). Adams posted this on Twitter:

"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. My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that."

He continued, saying, "I am declining fast."

"I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday," Adams added. "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."

3). Because Trump doesn't give a fuck about ANYONE ELSE unless he can GET SOMETHING FROM THEM, he probably doesn't give a fuck about whether Adams is declining fast, slow, or at a surprisingly leisurely pace.

4). Trump's PRIMARY MOTIVATION is USUALLY MONEY. But if he can turn making a phone call for a MAGAt cartoonist into a "media event," he might do it, as one more thing that's not the Epstein files.

5). Helping Adams wouldn't piss off "the libs" as much as pardoning Maxwell (which would piss off a few MAGAts, too). But since he's not well-liked by "liberals," Trump...if he's has a good day, some golf, six or eight Big Macs...MIGHT throw this guy a bone.
