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

Trump said White would bring mixed martial arts fighters as aides, while the White House press secretary post has been vacant since mid-October.

  • 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.
