Trump mourns 'Great Influencer' Scott Adams after 'Dilbert' creator's death from cancer

President Donald Trump praised cartoonist-turned-conservative influencer Scott Adams after learning of his death on Tuesday.

Adams, known for the white-collar office-humor "Dilbert" comic strip, died at age 68 following a battle with cancer. His ex-wife, Shelly Miles, tearfully announced his passing during a livestream on the "Real Coffee with Scott Adams" YouTube channel.

Trump reacted to Adams' death on Truth Social, writing, "Sadly, the Great Influencer, Scott Adams, has passed away. He was a fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasn't fashionable to do so. He bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease. My condolences go out to his family, and all of his many friends and listeners. He will be truly missed. God bless you, Scott!"
