UFC’s Dana White says he will meet with Trump Monday over offer to be White House press secretary

Trump said Dana White would be a press secretary like none other as the White House faces a staffing shake-up after GOP losses.

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he offered the Press Secretary role to UFC CEO Dana White, describing him as "the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior."
  • Major administration transition precedes the offer, including the recent replacement of longtime adviser Susie Wiles with aide Stephen Miller as chief of staff and the departure of press secretary Katie Zacharia after five days.
  • Trump requested White bring UFC fighters as "assistants" to defend against the "Lunatic Left," accompanying the post with an AI-generated image of White at The White House press room.
  • White shared an image on Instagram with the caption "On to the next chapter," though The White House did not immediately confirm the appointment or respond to inquiries.
  • Distinguishing between official presidential announcements and deliberate jokes remains difficult, given Trump's history of utilizing Truth Social to communicate significant policy and staffing changes.
