White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung absolutely erupted on social media Sunday in response to comments made by The Daily Beast’s Joanna Coles on CNN’s Inside Politics earlier in the day.

Cheung, one of President Donald Trump’s closest allies, referred to Coles as a “piece of shit” and commented she has a “pea-sized brain” after she implied on CNN that Trump may have serious health problems indicated by “suspicious” weight loss.

Coles, chief content officer for The Daily Beast, appeared on Inside Politics to discuss a number of topics including Trump’s recent appearance at the Pope’s funeral — and apparently his weight loss.

While commenting on Trump wearing a blue suit to the funeral rather than a black one – which has been somewhat of a controversy on the left over the weekend — Coles suggested there could be trouble with Trump’s health to CNN’s Jessica Dean.

She also referred to Robert Kennedy Jr.’s disapproval of the drug Ozempic and speculated that Trump was potentially using the drug:

I was so fascinated by the whole sort of playing out of the Pope’s funeral, I guess, as opposed to memorial. Donald Trump in a blue suit, when we know he has a black suit because he was wearing a black suit the last time you met the Pope, so why wasn’t he wearing it this time? Lots of suspicion because he’s lost a lot of weight. Who knows how he’s lost weight? We know that Robert Kennedy Jr., his health minister, doesn’t approve of people taking Ozempic because he thinks it shows a lack of moral power. So, who knows how Trump has lost weight? But I found the suit color very interesting. And for someone like me, who is a boss, is a huge believer in getting people together as opposed to doing things remotely.

Coles also questioned Trump’s appointment of Hollywood producer Mark Burnett as a special envoy to London, which she claimed was creating unnecessary difficulty for Burnett.

Reacting to Coles’ comments, Cheung took to his X page, tagged Coles directly, and blasted her.

Cheung wrote, “CNN had this blithering idiot on @InsidePolitics from The Daily Beast named @JoannaColes making unsubstantiated claims about President Trump’s health. Joanna is a piece of shit, clearly suffering from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome rotting her pea-sized brain.”

Cole did not immediately respond to Cheung’s post.
