One of Donald Trump’s top press advisers embraces the image of an infamous James Bond villain as he savages the president’s critics on social media.

White House communications director Steven Cheung spotted a small plastic bowler hat during a St. Patrick’s Day event at the White House and put it on his head, much to the delight of his colleagues.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day from Steven Cheung,’ wrote press secretary Karoline Lovett on social media, sharing the photo to mark the occasion.

‘What an… Odd-job,’ Cheung replied on X with a knowing wink to his alter ego.

For years, fellow Trump staffers – and even some of his enemies – have frequently make the comparison of their boss to the silent but deadly henchman of the villain Goldfinger in the 1964 Bond film.

The character Oddjob serves as a personal chauffeur, bodyguard, and caddy for Goldfinger and is so strong he can crush a golf ball with one hand.

Oddjob also throws his top hat, with a razor sharp steel brim, that can decapitate people who dare cross his boss. 

The character gained new notoriety in the Goldeneye 007 video game, as gamers realized his short stature made him harder to hit.

Cheung now keeps the bowler hat in his office, sources tell DailyMail.com, and puts it on when he shifts to his ‘alter ego.’

‘He puts it on when he’s up to no good, he’ll transform into Oddjob when he’s about to dunk on a reporter for fake news,’ White House deputy communications director Kaelan Dorr revealed in an interview with Real America’s Voice, during a discussion about the administration’s media strategy.

Cheung is famous for his uncompromising social media takedowns of Democrats or media figures who have earned his scorn for criticizing the president. 

‘CNN loves to have “economists” on their shows, but what they fail to disclose is that most of them like Mark Zandi are Democrat donors and liberal activists,’ Cheung wrote on X on Wednesday. 

He posted a list of Zandi’s political donations to Hillary Clinton’s campaign and Democratic senators.

‘Don’t believe what they’re saying,’ he added.  

He frequently takes shots at CNN and other cable news anchors after spotting them on his office televisions.   

‘CNN’s Kasie Hunt just beclowned herself in an interview with the great Peter Navarro,’ he wrote after watching an interview on Hunt’s show.

‘She proved she lacks the intelligence and basic understanding of economic policy. Doesn’t know the difference between production vs assembling. Also, she acted like a d**k… with a weird laugh.’

After Sen. Corey Booker delivered a historically long filibuster speech in the Senate last week, Cheung reached back to an old 2013 story of the senator getting caught direct messaging an exotic dancer on Twitter.

‘Sen Booker is going to celebrate with the stripper in his DM’s,’ Cheung quipped.

Other frequent targets of his ire include Democrats who famously tortured Trump with the Russia investigation.

‘The camera can’t stabilize because the watermelon head is wobbling precariously on a pencil neck,’ he wrote on March 13, about Representative Adam Schiff of California, who Trump famously described as ‘pencil neck.’

Cheung is legendary on the Trump Team as a ‘Trump OG’ who joined the president’s first campaign in 2015 after serving as the director public affairs of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Any campaign staffers who were apprehensive about taking a job in the White House breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Trump and Susie Wiles had selected him as the director of communications.

Despite Cheung’s aggressive persona on social media, those close to him praise him as one of the most gregarious characters in Trump’s orbit, who like the president is fiercely loyal and has an excellent sense of humor.

The Atlantic magazine quoted a journalist who went off the record to describe Cheung as ‘like a giant teddy bear.’ 

But his ability to navigate political communications continues to earn him respect from his team.

‘He has a skill that I don’t, which is to come up with the funniest, most aggressive one-liners you’ve ever heard, in seconds,’ Leavitt told The Atlantic.
