White House Communications Director Steven Cheung reacted aggressively to a question from a HuffPost reporter about the absence of transcripts for most of President Trump's public remarks. Despite Trump holding 146 public appearances in his first 100 days, only 29 transcripts were made available online. Cheung dismissed concerns about transparency, labeling the inquiry as foolish and insisting that access to Trumpâs press engagements was ample. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between the White House and media outlets regarding transparency and accountability, particularly considering Cheung's prior confrontations with reporters.
You must be truly fucking stupid if you think we're not transparent. For anyone to think otherwise proves they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The president regularly does multiple press engagements per day and they are streamed live on multiple platforms. We've even granted low-level outlets like HuffPo additional access to events.
