Steven Cheung, this guy has quite a story.

He is a Chinese American, his parents immigrated from Hong Kong and mainland China, and he was born in the United States, raised in California, so he is not an immigrant, but definitely one of the most famous figures in the Chinese community— the only Chinese senior official in Trump's team!

He can be considered Trump's staunch penman, extremely outspoken, fiercely protective of his boss.

He usually confronts reporters, disses celebrities, often throws around profanity and wolf warrior-style remarks, and everyone has long gotten used to it.

But recently, it seems he has really offended Trump and the MAGA fans.

Now rumors say he has lost Trump's trust and has been kicked out of the inner circle.

The controversy is not due to any major incident, but rather the accumulation of his long-standing explosive style and relentless protection of his boss gradually irritated people.

The most explosive incident happened on January 13, when Trump visited the Ford factory in Michigan, only to be confronted by a worker who called him a "pedophile protector," saying the government was dragging its feet on releasing Jeffrey Epstein's documents.

Trump directly responded with a middle finger and profanity, making the situation extremely awkward.

Steven Cheung immediately jumped out to issue a statement defending his boss, saying, "A madman completely out of control spewing profanity, the president gave him the most appropriate and clear response."

As a result, this statement caused an uproar among the media and netizens, with people criticizing him for being too low in his wolf warrior defense of his boss, saying things like "How could the White House speak like this?" Reuters, Yahoo, and China Daily all reported on it, with the focus on him calling the protester a "madman."

Additionally, there are rumors that he opposes ICE's crackdown on Black people and Chinese Americans, but this is basically just internal MAGA gossip and dissing, with no mainstream media confirming it. There are plenty of such factional struggle rumors on X, which seem to have little substance.

Overall, Steven Cheung's situation is quite awkward now: he was once Trump's most loyal enforcer, but now seems to be looked down upon by his own people.

In politics, being overly protective of your boss can lead to a backfire, don't you think?

Moreover, flaunting wealth is probably another reason, like luxury cars and mansions.
