Trump 'kidding' about Dana White as press secy

President Donald Trump jokingly suggested on Sunday that UFC CEO Dana White could become his next White House press secretary, following speculation sparked by a social media post earlier in the day. The comment was made in response to the prevailing political climate as Democrats prepare to assume control of Congress. Trump clarified that he had not been serious about the proposal, describing the suggestion as merely a joke.

The post featured photos of popular UFC fighters as potential assistants to White, a part of the lighthearted jest. In Saturday's announcement, Trump portrayed White as a "violent Fighter and Warrior," recommending several current or former UFC champions to serve as assistants, asserting that they were necessary to safeguard the administration against the "Lunatic Left."

White, who has been a loyal Trump ally for over two decades, is set to visit the White House on Monday for a meeting unrelated to this specific proposal.
