‘Dilbert' creator reveals call with President Trump after cancer diagnosis: ‘Did I just send the president to voicemail?'
'Dilbert' creator and online pundit Scott Adams received not one, but two phone calls — and a voicemail — from President Trump following the beloved cartoonist's shocking cancer announcement.
The 'Reframe Your Brain' author, 67, revealed Monday that he, like former President Joe Biden, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
Days after the announcement, Adams received a call from a 'number from Florida' that he didn't recognize and sent straight to voicemail, he revealed in a video shared on X Thursday.
'The first sentence of the [voicemail] transcription…is 'This is your favorite president,'' Adams said, chuckling, adding, 'Did I just send the most important person in the world to voicemail?'President Trump left a 'semi-lengthy' voicemail checking in on Adams that included a number the 'Dilbert Principle' writer was to use to call him back.
'Now obviously I don't call him back because that would be ridiculous. It was just a nice thing for him to say,' the celebrated scrawler rationalized.
Several hours later, Adams gets another call from a 'Florida number' he doesn't recognize — 'I thought to myself, 'No f—king way.''
'I answer it and it's Trump,' Adams recounted, still in disbelief.
'He was just checkin' on me and he wanted to make sure I was getting everything I needed,' he said.
The 'Win Bigly' author has been a Trump booster since the 2015 Republican Primary and a vocal online pundit for the two-time president on his daily internet show 'Coffee with Scott Adams.'
'At the end, the strangest thing happened. At the end of the call, when he found out that the situation was kinda dire,' Adams recalled, 'He said, 'If you need anything, I'll make it happen.''
'And he meant it,' he added, laughing in disbelief.
In the wake of Biden's dramatic health news announced earlier this week, Adams revealed that he has the same diagnosis and that he expects to die in the coming months.
'I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has. I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones,' Adams said during an episode of 'Coffee with Scott Adams' on Monday.
'My life expectancy is maybe this summer,' he added. 'I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer.'
Biden, 82, announced through a spokesperson Sunday that he has 'aggressive' prostate cancer that spread to the bones, which was supposedly discovered just this month.
'Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,' a statement from Biden's personal office read. 'On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.'
President Trump has expressed doubt regarding the claim that Biden just found out about the ghastly Stage 9 cancer diagnosis.
'I'm surprised the public wasn't notified a long time ago,' Trump said to reporters in the Oval Office Monday.
'This is dangerous for our country,' he added.

‘I'll know in the first two minutes': Trump's prediction about Zelensky-less Ukraine summit with Putin in Alaska
Donald Trump claimed that he would know 'in the first two minutes' of his upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin if a peace deal could be reached between Russia and Ukraine. 'We're going to have a meeting with Vladimir Putin, and at the end of that meeting, probably in the first two minutes, I'll know exactly whether or not a deal can be made,' the president told reporters at a press conference Monday. Asked how he would know, the president replied: 'Because that's what I do. I make deals.' However, Trump later appeared to contradict himself, after saying that it was 'not up to him' if a deal was made or not. 'I'm not going to make a deal. It's not up to me to make a deal. I think a deal should be made for both,' he said. The president is set to meet with the Russian president Friday in Alaska for the 'highly anticipated' meeting, during which the pair will discuss bringing an end to the conflict that has raged since the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces in February 2022. Trump briefly appeared to forget the location of the meeting, telling reporters at the press conference that he would be travelling to Russia for the meeting, instead of The Last Frontier. He added that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky 'could' attend the bilateral, but also appeared to question if it would help a deal be reached. 'He wasn't a part of it,' Trump said, speaking about the setting up of the talks. 'I would say he could go, but he's been to a lot of meetings. You know, he's been there for three and a half years. Nothing happened.' He added that, should a 'fair' deal be reached, he would inform the European Union as well as Zelensky, who he would call first 'out of respect.' 'And I may say, 'lots of luck, keep fighting.' Or I may say 'we can make a deal,' he said. Either way, Trump said that a meeting between Putin and Zelensky would be necessary in the future. 'Ultimately, I'm going to put the two of them in a room. I'll be there, or I won't be there, and I think it'll get solved.' Friday's meeting will be the first between a U.S. president and Putin since 2021, when Joe Biden met him in Switzerland, and marks the first time the Russian president has set foot on American soil in a decade. His visit is due to go ahead as planned, despite the fact that he faces an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court. Critics have also noted that Alaska was once owned by Russia, who claimed it during the 1770s and sold it back to the U.S. in 1867. Russian traditionalists have long-since demanded the return of the territory.

What is the Home Rule Act? Trump just invoked it to ‘rescue' Washington, DC
President Donald Trump just invoked a decades-old law in a bid to crack down on crime in the nation's capital. In an Aug. 11 press conference, he said he was employing Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, permitting him to federalize the city's police department. 'I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse,' Trump said. 'This is Liberation Day in D.C., and we're going to take our capital back.' He also vowed to deploy the National Guard to 'restablish law, order and public safety,' mirroring tactics used during recent protests in Los Angeles. Multiple Democratic lawmakers condemned the president's move, denouncing it as an example of executive overreach and a political distraction. Passed by Congress in 1973, the District of Columbia Home Rule Act granted the city limited self-governing powers while leaving other authorities in federal hands. For the first time, it permitted D.C. residents to elect their own city council and mayor. However, it established significant oversight powers for Congress, including allowing lawmakers to review all legislation passed by the city council. 'The Home Rule Act is the result of the ongoing push by District residents for control of their own local affairs,' according to the city council's website. 'The existing local government is the most expanded form of self-government since the establishment of the District as the seat of the federal government.' Section 740 of the act — invoked by Trump — is concerned with the control of the police in emergency situations. 'Whenever the President of the United States determines that special conditions of an emergency nature exist which require the use of the Metropolitan Police force for Federal purposes, he may direct the Mayor to provide him, and the Mayor shall provide, such services of the Metropolitan Police force as the President may deem necessary and appropriate,' the section states. However, there are limits on the president's authority to federalize the city police. The president is only permitted to take control of the police department for a maximum of 48 hours without alerting Congress, the act states. But, if the president provides a written letter to the ranking members 'of the Committees on the District of Columbia of the Senate and the House of Representatives,' he may continue to exercise control of the police department for 30 days. After one month, this authority can only be extended by a joint resolution from the Senate and the House. Before invoking the legislation, Trump previously expressed interest in repealing the Home Rule Act, telling reporters on Aug. 5, 'We have to run D.C.' In his Aug. 11 press conference, Trump portrayed Washington, D.C. as a city plagued by lawlessness. 'Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people,' the president said. But, official data paints a more complicated picture. While D.C.'s crime rates remain higher than other cities by certain measures, they are steadily improving. So far in 2025, violent crime has decreased 26% year-over-year, with homicides down 12% and robberies down 28%, according to police department statistics. Total crime is also down by 7%. And in 2024, violent crime in the District of Columbia fell by 35% from 2023, reaching its lowest level in over three decades, according to the Department of Justice. Still, Washington's homicide rate in 2024 was among the highest of the nation's largest cities, behind St. Louis, New Orleans and Detroit, according to the Center for Public Safety Initiatives at Rochester Institute of Technology. The falling crime rate in the capital mirrors a broader national trend of reduced violent crime in recent years, following a pandemic-era surge, according to CBS News. FBI Director Kash Patel noted this positive progression during Trump's press conference, stating, 'The murder rates are plummeting. We are now able to report that the murder rate is on track to be the lowest in U.S. history, in modern reported U.S. history.'

President, mayor, police chief, social worker. Trump is a man of many hats
Alongside his Washington, D.C. takeover of local law enforcement, President Trump also vows to clear away the homeless and pave the potholes. Donald Trump's expansive view of his powers is no longer limited to those traditionally exercised by a president. With his decision to take control of D.C. police and deploy national guardsmen and FBI agents on the city's streets − citing a spree of lawlessness that isn't supported by federal crime data − the president took charge of tasks typically in the domain of the mayor and the police chief. There was more. He also vowed to clear out the homeless from encampments (though short on details about where they would go, exactly) as well as pave the streets and fill the potholes. He is a hands-on leader, he boasted, even when it comes to White House decor and his plans to build a huge ballroom and install new marble floors. "I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse," he said at the beginning of a freewheeling news conference that stretched for more than an hour. "This is Liberation Day in D.C., and we're going to take our capital back." Why now? That wasn't entirely clear, especially at a time crime in Washington is on a significant slide. In January, The U.S. attorney's office announced that violent crime in Washington in 2024 was at a 30-year low, down 35% from 2023. So far this year, DC's Metropolitan Police Department said that as of Aug. 10, violent crime has dropped another 26%. Except for a spike during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022 and 2023, violent crime in the District of Columbia has been steadily declining since 2012. Trump was clearly unconvinced, depicting a dystopian landscape outside the White House gates. "Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people," he said. He mentioned in particular the beating of a former staffer from the Department on Governmental Efficiency during an attempted carjacking. He suggested the reporters in the room, many of whom live in Washington, should be grateful that he was moving to protect them. Can Trump do that? Yes. Should he? Trump declared a public safety emergency in Washington − seizing control of the police department and sending 800 national guardsmen on the streets and another 120 FBI agents on night patrols. While critics argued that it wasn't necessary or wise to take these steps, they generally didn't argue that he lacked the power to do them. "He's doing this because he can," city councilman Charles Allen said. To be clear, standing on the side of law-and-order doesn't usually require a profile in courage. It has been a Republican trope since Richard Nixon and before. In recent years, it has been stoked by demands by Democrats and others for social-justice reforms in the wake of notorious cases of police brutality. Trump depicted crime as a failure of Democratic leaders and a consequence of their policies. He warned other Democratic enclaves − New York, Chicago, Los Angeles − that he just might consider taking similar steps to impose order on their streets. What particularly irked his fiercest critics was the contrast with Trump's action, or his lack of it, during what was undeniably a law-enforcement crisis in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. Thousands of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, disrupting the ceremonial count of Electoral College ballots in an election he had lost and sending senators and representatives scrambling for safety. Then, Trump didn't deploy the National Guard. Afterwards, more than 1,575 people were charged with crimes. At least 600 were charged with the felony of assaulting or impeding law enforcement. Trump himself was also indicted on criminal charges for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election that he lost – a prosecution he managed to avoid facing trial on by winning the presidency again. On the first day of his second term, Trump granted a blanket clemency to the Jan. 6 defendants. Durban: 'Political theater' to draw attention from Jeffrey Epstein This time, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin called Trump's actions "political theater" and "a typical move by this president to create chaos and uncertainty, and to draw the attention from other issues like Jeffrey Epstein." Trump was "trying to change the subject," said Durbin, one of the top Democrats who oversees the Justice Department. Trump did answer questions from reporters about the traditional business of the presidency. He discussed his vision of a "land swap" he might negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin during their scheduled meeting on Aug. 15 in Alaska to end the war in Ukraine. He said he would soon decide whether to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, and he teased the ongoing trade negotiations with China. Then, yes, there was Epstein, whose case had broken back into the headlines just before Trump walked out into the White House briefing room. A federal judge denied the Trump administration's request to release testimony in the grand jury that indicted Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former partner who is serving her own 20-year prison sentence on sex trafficking charges. The request was part of the tamp down swirling controversy among Trump's MAGA base about whether powerful people were being protected from disclosure. As he left the briefing room, the president ignored shouted questions about the case − though like the new crackdown on crime, that topic isn't likely to go away anytime soon.
