‘Only kidding’: Donald Trump says amid speculations that he offered White House press secretary job to wrong Dana White
Donald Trump said his post suggesting UFC chief Dana White become White House press secretary was a joke, though White plans to meet him. The role remains vacant, amid speculation that Trump may have meant another Dana White, a former Defense Department public affairs official.
Donald Trump clarified on Sunday that his social media post offering the role of White House press secretary to UFC chief Dana White was a joke. Trump stated, "I was only kidding, but Dana loves the idea," adding that he included all great fighters as his assistants in the post. White House press secretary position was vacant since Katie Zacharia's brief tenure ended on October 16 due to concerns about her credentials.
The role remains unfilled as Trump makes changes in his administration following recent midterm elections.
