Cartoonist Scott Adams, creator of the comic strip “Dilbert,” shared Thursday that President Donald Trump called him after learning Adams had the same prostate cancer as former President Joe Biden.
After announcing his cancer diagnosis on his podcast, “Real Coffee with Scott Adams,” he said that people have been checking in on him. However, he sent a call from an unrecognizable Florida number to voicemail.
“This is your favorite president,” the first sentence of the transcribed voicemail read.
“Did I just send the most important person in the world to voicemail?” Adams said.
Adams said Trump left a “semi-lengthy voicemail” and ended it by telling Adams he could “call [him] back at this number.”
However, Adams did not call back. He figured Trump was only being polite.
“It’s not like he’s sitting at the Resolute desk waiting for my call,” Adams said. “Whatever he’s doing has to be more important than randomly taking a call from me.” (RELATED: Biden’s Sudden Cancer Diagnosis Doesn’t Add Up, Doctors Say)
Adams was surprised when Trump called again later that day — and this time he answered.
“He was just checking on me and wanted to make sure I was getting everything I needed,” Adams said.
Adams said his cancer was “kind of dire.”
“If you need anything, I’ll make it happen,” Trump said, according to Adams.
Adams described the call as “the most incredible, weird, hard-to-understand situation, but boy, was that fun.”
He revealed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer on Monday, and that it had spread to his bones.
“My life expectancy is maybe this summer,” Adams said on his YouTube channel.
Biden’s personal office announced he has a form of prostate cancer that metastasized to his bones Friday.
