Trump Jokes About UFC Chief Dana White as Press Secretary; White Declines Role
US President Donald Trump joked about appointing UFC CEO Dana White as White House press secretary, a position vacant since October. Trump later clarified the offer was not serious, describing it as "just a little fun." White appeared at the White House but declined the role, stating he has no political ambitions. Trump shared an AI-generated video featuring UFC fighters confronting journalists, adding a combative tone to the episode. The situation followed recent turnover in the press secretary position amid Republican losses in the midterm elections.
