President Donald Trump invited the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Dana White, to serve as the White House press secretary on Saturday. In a post on Truth Social, Trump described White as a "violent Fighter and Warrior" and offered him the position, adding that he requested White bring assistants, including fighters like Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris.
Trump's request came after White's company, Zuffa Boxing, collaborated with the White House previously, such as constructing a tarantula-like stage for a birthday cage fight for the President in June. The UFC has also played a significant role in Trump's political career, connecting him with influential figures like Joe Rogan and contributing to the sport's mainstream popularity.
Trump acknowledged White's potential impact on the federal government and urged him to accept the position, leaving it unclear whether White has taken the offer.
