Trump Says He Offered White House Press Secretary Job to UFC Chief Dana White

Trump said White would bring six UFC fighters as assistants, and the offer follows a White House staff shake-up after Republican midterm losses.

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he offered UFC CEO Dana White the position of White House Press Secretary.
  • The two men are longtime friends, with Trump hosting UFC Freedom 250 at the White House earlier this year and White speaking at Republican National Convention appearances.
  • Trump requested White bring mixed martial arts fighters, including Islam Makhachev and Kayla Harrison, as assistants to help "defend us against the Lunatic Left."
  • This announcement follows Trump replacing his White House chief of staff with Stephen Miller, as the administration reorganizes after Republicans lost both chambers of Congress on Tuesday.
  • While Trump claimed "Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other," it remains unclear whether the UFC executive intends to accept the offer.
