Meet the morbidly obese MAGAt Steven Cheung, living proof that you don’t need an elite Ivy League diploma to run the White House communications apparatus—in fact, you don’t need a college diploma at all. While Washington insiders spent their twenties collecting expensive master's degrees, Cheung became a White House Communications Director with nothing more than a high school degree from John F. Kennedy High School under his belt. As the son of working-class immigrants from Hong Kong and Japan who came to California in the 1960s, his path to the West Wing completely bypassed the traditional establishment resume. He briefly enrolled at California State University, Sacramento, to study political science and computer science, but ultimately dropped out without earning a degree. Instead of sitting in lecture halls, Cheung jumped straight into the glamorous world of political grunt work with just his high school credentials. He started out drafting notes as a low-level intern for Arnold Schwarzenegger back in 2003, before lending his early talents to administrative tasks on the doomed McCain-Palin presidential campaign in 2008. His real "prestigious" executive training, however, came from 2013 to 2016, when he served as a communications director for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Because as it turns out, absolutely nothing prepares you for navigating the White House press corps quite like dealing with blood-soaked mixed martial arts fighters. He successfully parlayed those aggressive cage-match PR instincts into a gig with Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign as a rapid response director. After a brief detour into corporate consulting and helping guide Caitlyn Jenner's gubernatorial bid, he returned to masterfully trash-talk his way to the top as Trump’s lead 2024 campaign spokesperson. Now he sits comfortably in the White House, showing the entire political establishment that an expensive university education is entirely optional if you just know how to throw a brutal verbal punch.
