In the latter half of the 2010s, Cheong continued to grow an audience as a conservative Trump supporter on X under the handle @stillgray. Since 2017, he's worked for the Daily Caller, a website co-founded by broadcast journalist Tucker Carlson. His commentary on U.S. politics is often undercut by people pointing out the fact that Cheong is a Malaysian native and resident.
That's nothing! Trump was born in SE Asia and was adopted by US citizens, but never took his naturalization test, so he's not a citizen either. Can you believe that? I mean sure you can, you believed that other thing.
There are so many comments on the US election from people who have zero participation in it.
By itself that’s fine, but point it out please. “I’m not a US voter, but” or something. I get these bizarre takes that make sense only after realizing the commenter isn’t familiar with US elections - which is good news. Because what I’m used to are bizarre takes from people who are (or should be) familiar with them.
Ian Miles Cheong's Twitter-fame is baffling to me. I often follow conservative people on there if they're in an important position of some sort, but this guy has accomplished nothing that makes his perspective more relevant than the average schmuck.
I'm a little surprised nobody has tried to blame Hamilton's "My Shot" for the attempt on Ole Donny Littlefinger's life.
It would be extremely funny to see Lin Manuel Miranda having to apologize for advocating political violence, while a bunch of Groypers scream about doing a second American Civil War over their friendly fire incident.
Controversial take: Trump is the only American president in recent history that broke away from the policy of war and invasion. Bush Jr, Obama and Biden all left a very bloody legacy, and were direcly responsible for mass murder. If you are not American, then supporting Trump makes a lot of sense.
