Trump names combative spokesman Steven Cheung as communications director
Cheung, who previously worked for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has a reputation for insulting attacks on Trump’s opponents
US president-elect Donald Trump announced on Friday that Steven Cheung will serve as his White House communications director and Sergio Gor will run the personnel office.
Both have been advisers to the president-elect since his 2016 campaign, Trump said.
Both positions could be influential in the new administration, helping to develop its public messaging and internal workforce.
Cheung led communications for Trump’s latest campaign, where he gained a reputation for combative and insulting attacks on the Republican’s opponents.
A native of Sacramento, California, he worked in Republican politics and for the Ultimate Fighting Championship before joining Trump’s team in 2016.
Gor ran Winning Team Publishing, which he started with Donald Trump Jnr.
