Steven Cheung has become a focus online after new posts showed how he helps shape Donald Trump’s online messages. Cheung works as Trump’s director of communications and has stayed close to him since at least the 2016 election. Many people are now saying he is the main person behind some of Trump’s strong insults and attacks that appear on his social media pages.
One post says Cheung is “Trump’s official presidential troll” who helps him develop and spread rants online. Another post shows an email where Cheung said on election night in 2016 that “we aren’t to lose as bad as people think.” A former staffer shared that Cheung once told him he just wanted to get through the “circus” and go back to working in the UFC. These details have added to the talk that Cheung is a key player in Trump’s team, particularly given the importance of Truth Social in Trump’s communication strategy.
