https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-goon-melts-down-at-cnn-host-over-trumps-rambling-iran-speech/Trumps top mouthpiece, Steven Cheung, has thrown a tantrum at a CNN host who dared to question the presidents war in Iran.
Abby Phillip and the NewsNight panel were reacting to Trumps freewheeling address to the nation on Wednesday evening, in which the 79-year-old president said the core objectives of his campaign against Iran were nearing completion.
Phillip poured scorn on the president from the top of the show. In her opening remarks, she said: If you were looking for some new insights from the president about how this war is going, where its headed, how exactly it might end, Im not sure that you got it today. The president basically repeated a lot of the things that hes been saying in Truth Social posts, except he said it out loud.
This didnt land well with Cheung, the White House communications director.
Totally unhinged @abbydphillip of CNN has no sense at all, he began his rant on X. Complete lightweight who has no idea what she is talking about on foreign policy. Its now clear why her ratings are in the s--tter.

Tourettes is stereotypically known as the disorder that causes someone to involuntarily swear or say inappropriate things. Most recently a presenter at the BAFTA awards who has Tourettes was paired with another presenter who is black, and the man with Tourettes shouted out the N word on live television.
In my experience (Im a retired therapist) that presentation is the least common- although some form of vocal tic is required for the diagnosis, it is much more common for it to take the form of non-verbal vocalizations such as grunts, whoops, shrieks, etc. combined with motor tics such as blinking, jerking, grimacing etc.

Cheung is a contemptible lackey who deserves our scorn, but not at the expense of stigmatizing mental health and neurological disorders that many others struggle with. If someone had cerebral palsy, we wouldnt mock him as a spaz, and if someone had schizophrenia, we wouldnt mock them as a psycho, would we?
Rant/lecture over.

(23,292 posts)I understand everything you said. It's not where I'm coming from at all. And, it's just one of those days where I'm not in the mood to "defend" myself or "explain myself to you" any further than that.
No offense. If I felt the need to own the accusations in your "Rant/lecture," I'd do that. I don't feel the need.
Cheung is a foul pig who likes to include "your MOTHER" swipes in his rants. He's insulting, crude, a fucking pig, and if it makes you feel better to hear me cast him in that light, I guess my work is done here, until the next post response where someone psychoanalyzes me and tells me all about my intentions and motivation.
"Have a nice day."

After NPR first reported the altercation last week, campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said they were "prepared to release footage" of the incident, and attacked the Arlington employee as someone "clearly suffering from a mental health episode." Cheung also said they were granted access to have a photographer present, and pointed to a statement from Gold Star family members that invited Trump to attend the ceremony.

One thing is obvious: Traitor Cheung is an insane asshole.
