Trump Just Joked About Making Dana White His Press Secretary (Video)

Did Donald Trump really offer his press secretary job to UFC boss Dana White? For a brief moment this weekend, it certainly looked like it.

The president stirred up a massive media frenzy on Saturday. He posted on social media that he offered the high-profile gig to White. Trump even begged his longtime friend to take the job. He wrote, “Dana, please take the job!” in his post.

Trump praised White’s tough persona in the initial announcement. He called the UFC boss a “violent Fighter and Warrior.” Trump also requested White bring six UFC fighters as his press aides. He claimed they were needed to defend against the “Lunatic Left.”
Many people immediately wondered if this was a serious political move. After all, White is a very close ally of Trump. White even campaigned heavily for Trump during the 2024 presidential election. White also staged a massive cage-fighting spectacle at the White House. That event marked Trump’s 80th birthday back in June.
But by Sunday, Trump officially walked back the shocking offer. He told reporters that he was simply having a little fun. “I was kidding, of course,” Trump confessed to the press. He admitted the idea of UFC fighters in the briefing room was a joke.

Still, Trump claimed that White actually loved the crazy idea. He praised White as a very capable guy. The two men actually have an Oval Office meeting scheduled for Monday. However, Trump insists this upcoming meeting is planned for entirely different reasons.

Faith Based Events
The press secretary position is currently vacant. Conservative commentator Katie Zacharia recently left the job. She was reportedly ousted after serving just five days in the role. This sudden vacancy naturally left room for wild speculation to grow.
White also addressed the viral rumors before his scheduled trip to Washington. He smiled and chuckled about the situation with reporters. He confirmed his Monday meeting with Trump but did not reveal the agenda. “I’m sure I’ll have more to talk about after that,” White said.
Trump is known for testing the waters with unconventional ideas. He frequently uses social media to gauge public reactions. This tactic keeps his supporters energized and the media guessing. But putting a sports promoter in charge of press briefings was too extreme. It was too far even for a president famous for breaking political norms.

For now, the White House briefing room remains safe from the octagon. The search for a real press secretary continues.
