Did Trump Pick Wrong Dana White For Press Secretary? Internet Is Convinced
The speculation began on Saturday when Trump announced that he was offering the press secretary's job to Dana White, the president and CEO of the UFC and one of his longtime allies.
President Donald Trump proposed that UFC President Dana White take on the role of White House Press Secretary. He praised White as a Fighter and Warrior and suggested he would be a unique press secretary. Trump also proposed bringing several UFC fighters, including Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harrison, as assistants to help defend his administration against perceived adversaries.
The proposal came with a direct appeal to White: "Dana, please take the job!" White was in the UK at the time, attending a boxing event. When he returned to the US, he posted a photo of himself in the White House press briefing room and expressed excitement about a new chapter. However, a CNN report suggested White had declined the offer, while White himself said he had many existing commitments and was planning to discuss the matter further during his meeting with Trump.
