President-elect Donald Trump has decided to bring his barefisted advisor Steven Cheung to the White House as his communications director.
As in his initial run, Trump fed off intense media coverage, whether good or bad, even while publicly attacking the media as ‘fake news’ and calling it an ‘enemy of the people’ during his 2024 campaign rallies.
When controversies arose, Cheung delivered a series of responses during the campaign, as when he called Kamala Harris ‘despicable.’
That came just days before the election after Harris cited a report claiming Trump had said something admiring about Hitler. Cheung shot back with a statement calling her a ‘stone-cold loser who is increasingly desperate because she is flailing, and her campaign is in shambles.’
When news broke that Iran had hacked his campaign, Cheung issued a statement blaming Harris. ‘This is the continuation of election interference by Kamala Harris and Democrats who will stop at nothing, including emboldening China and Iran attacking critical American infrastructure, to prevent President Trump from returning to the White House,’ he said.
His appointment comes after a flurry of activity by Trump, who is nominating Matt Gaetz to be attorney general and said Thursday he will nominate North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to be Interior secretary.
