President Donald Trump has bestowed a telling moniker on his foul-mouthed attack dog Steven Cheung. <\/p>\n

The president\u2019s communications director has made a name for himself by hurling vulgar broadsides at everyone from lawmakers in Congress to journalists at the Daily Beast, while routinely melting down at Trump\u2019s critics on social media. <\/p>\n

\n

Trump, 80, has apparently embraced Cheung\u2019s volatile streak and refers to the physically imposing aide as Luca Brasi, Vito Corleone\u2019s hitman in The Godfather, <\/i>according to Regime Change<\/i>, the forthcoming book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The president also describes Cheung, the son of Chinese immigrants, as \u201ca more violent version of Kim Jong Un,\u201d the North Korean dictator running one of the world\u2019s most repressive regimes, according to the Daily Beast\u2019s founding editor, Tina Brown, who obtained the book and wrote about it on her Fresh Hell Substack. <\/p>\n

In Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s 1972 classic, which Trump counts among his favorite films, Brasi is Don Corleone\u2019s remorseless, fiercely loyal personal enforcer who ultimately dies a brutal death. Trump\u2019s nickname for Cheung suggests that the president, in turn, sees himself as the aging crime family patriarch portrayed by Marlon Brando <\/p>\n

Like Brasi, Trump\u2019s comparison of Cheung to Kim is not strictly pejorative; the president has often spoken warmly of the missile-obsessed despot, saying in 2018 that the two of them \u201cfell in love\u201d through their letter exchanges.<\/p>\n

Both Brasi and Kim are heavier-set like Cheung, whom Trump has referred to as his \u201csumo wrestler\u201d and outed as a GLP-1 drug user. <\/p>\n

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

This year alone, Cheung has dropped the abelist slur \u201cr—-d\u201d on a female Senate aide, described Jimmy Kimmel as a \u201cs–t human,\u201d and called Stephen Colbert an \u201centitled p—k.\u201d <\/p>\n

The communications chief, who oversees the White House\u2019s digital team that produces a steady stream of incendiary memes, has also called Joanna Coles, the Daily Beast\u2019s chief content officer, a \u201cblithering idiot,\u201d and Michael Wolff, co-host of the Daily Beast\u2019s Inside Trump\u2019s Head podcast, a \u201clying sack of s–t.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Brown\u2019s Substack, Cheung is described in Regime Change <\/i>as \u201can astonishing sight roaming through the West Wing: physically enormous, with a low brow, a shaved head, great slablike hands, and an omnipresent sneer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolff, who was granted access to the White House during the first Trump administration when Cheung served as an assistant communications director, said on The Daily Beast Podcast<\/i> last year that Cheung is \u201chidden away\u201d by the White House and cannot rise to become White House press secretary because that role is reserved for a \u201cyoung woman\u201d in Trumpworld. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever Steven says or does is directed to an audience of one,\u201d Wolff said. \u201cHe issues these kinds of vituperative comments, which Trump likes. \u2018That\u2019s a good one,\u2019 Trump will say.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Regime Change<\/i>, Cheung took satisfaction in seeing Democratic figures like California Governor Gavin Newsom adopt Trump-style trolling and online attacks, telling his colleagues it would make Newsom \u201cunelectable\u201d in 2028.<\/p>\n
