Looks like born, raised, and lives in Malaysia.

From knowyourmeme:

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.

Would you work for what an American fascist is paying these days?

Right? Like the conservatives just want the labor for free.
You are gonna have to go hunting for some really miserable people or do what the rest of the oligarchs do anyways and get foreigners to do it.

You have to be a special kind of dip shit to not only support Trump, but to do so when you're not even American.

Considering those people want to replace American government with a king.. it kinda makes sense.

But those people literally prefer trump to America.

broadcast journalist Tucker Carlson

Fuck whoever wrote this. He's a fuckin propagandist that talks on an opinion show... For him to be considered a journalist is a gigantic insult to journalism for fucks sake... Opinion shows are not journalism.
