Dana White: UFC chief declines Trump’s White House job offer
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) chief Dana White made a surprise appearance at the White House on Monday to turn down Donald Trump’s offer of a job as the White House press secretary, saying he has “zero political aspirations”. Trump stunned the world on November 7 when he said on social media that he had offered White the job, only to claim a day later that he was "only kidding”.
Dana White, the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, declined an offer to serve as President Donald Trump's press secretary. The offer came after Trump jokingly suggested the role in a social media post, followed by a cartoon video depicting White in the position. White, a Connecticut native and close friend of Trump, stated he has no political aspirations and expressed a desire to stay away from politics.
Despite Trump's initial offer and subsequent clarification that it was all in jest, White firmly declined the position, emphasizing his commitment to avoiding involvement in politics.
