White House Communications Director Steven Cheung on Tuesday posted a menacing message about what he believes to be Donald Trump’s power.

“Do not ever doubt President Trump and his political power,” Cheung wrote. “Fuck around, find out.”

Do not ever doubt President Trump and his political power. Fuck around, find out.

The post appeared to reference Trump critic Rep. Thomas Massie losing the Republican primary in Kentucky’s 4th District to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL, in what became the most expensive House race on record.

Cheung has a long history of posting divisive, Trump-like rhetoric online ― from calling a Democratic staffer a “retard” to slamming outgoing “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert as an “entitled prick.”

Critics quickly hit back, branding Cheung “a disgrace” and accusing him of using cult-like rhetoric.

This is a free country last I checked. You’re a disgrace.

“Do not ever doubt his political power” is how cult members talk about a wizard, not how adults discuss a politician.

Let’s check back on this in November https://t.co/Jrqf1MvHmR

Statement from the White House. 2026. https://t.co/BeKUkY8YoR

A White House communications director just issued a public threat to a sitting Republican congressman on behalf of the President and called it political power. Massie runs as an independent in November and either wins outright or splits the vote and Strange wins. That is also… https://t.co/lOzOVEM2th

I mean, sadly, he’s right. In terms of his control over the Republican party, it’s best to ignore all the talk from podcasters that there is some kind of major split in the MAGA base and accept that they’re behind Trump through thick and thin. https://t.co/9D9CFa0s6l

We’ll see in November, idiot.

Hey numbnuts Trump has an approval rating in the 30s. Americans hate him. See you in November! https://t.co/7zkwJY8iF5

Missed a spot. Fixed it for you 👇"...political power *within the MAGA cult."The rest of us aren't under his spell. We're just watching from a safe, sane distance. Oh, and getting ready to vote. 🍿🌊

People should quote this en masse to Cheung after republicans lose the midterms.
