Trump offers Dana White the job of White House spokesperson
Trump posted an offer on social media and said Dana White will meet him on Monday; the press secretary role has been vacant since mid‑October.
Former president Donald Trump publicly offered UFC president Dana White the job of White House spokesperson, posting an entreaty on his social media account and asking White to accept.
In the post Trump wrote: "Dana will be a spokesperson like no other. Dana, please accept the job!" It is not clear whether the offer was meant seriously.
Meeting scheduled
White later said he would meet with Trump "on Monday." The White House press secretary position has been vacant since mid-October, when Kejti Zakarija resigned after five days on the job and only one briefing.
In his message Trump described White as a combative figure, writing that "White is a violent fighter and a warrior," and asked that White bring well-known Ultimate Fighting Championship competitors with him to work.
The exchange drew attention because of White's background leading the UFC and the unconventional tone of the invitation, which mixed informal appeal with a suggestion to involve UFC fighters in White House duties.
