President Donald Trump on Sunday joined a memorial service for the late “Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams, who died earlier in the month from metastatic prostate cancer.
“The world lost a great one this month when we lost Scott Adams,” Trump said during the live-streamed celebration of life. “There was nobody like him. But Heaven gained a good heart, a brilliant mind and a very brave soul.”

“Scott was one of a kind, among the most interesting and original people and thinkers of our time,” Trump continued, praising Adams for his steadfast support. “I will never forget that Scott was with me from the very beginning … And he was a loyal and true friend to all of us until the very end.”
“Scott, we love you, we miss you and we will never ever forget you,” the president concluded. “Thank you for everything — and everything you’ve done for me. And God bless the United States of America, which loves you so much.”
In addition to his work as a cartoonist and an author, Adams reached millions with his daily live-streamed “Coffee with Scott Adams” chats — which he continued, whenever possible, even up to his very last days.
Adams left behind a message encouraging his followers to do as he had done and keep looking for ways to “be useful.”
“I had an amazing life,” he said. “I gave it everything I had. If you got any benefits from my work, I’m asking you to pay it forward as best you can. That’s the legacy I want. Be useful. And please know I loved you all to the end.”
