'Please take the job': Trump offers UFC CEO Dana White position of White House Press Secretary

White, 57, is one of Trump's closest and longest-standing friends, speaking on Trump's behalf at the Republican Party conventions in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

In a recent post on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump proposed that Dana White, the president and CEO of the UFC, take on the role of White House Press Secretary. Trump described White as a "violent Fighter and Warrior" and expressed his belief that White would be an exceptional Press Secretary, stating, "Dana, please take the job!"

This offer comes from a friendship that has lasted more than two decades, beginning when Trump hosted UFC events at his casinos in Atlantic City. Over the years, White has remained a loyal supporter of Trump, appearing at his conventions and even hosting a UFC event on the White House grounds to celebrate the nation's independence.

Despite his close relationship with Trump, White has stated that he has no political ambitions and is not interested in a government position.
