  "account": "Dana White, the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), declined President Donald Trump's offer to become the White House press secretary, stating he has \"zero political aspirations.\" The offer came after Trump jokingly announced the position on social media, sparking speculation that he was preparing for a more aggressive approach following the Republican Party's midterm election defeat. White, a lifelong friend of Trump, visited the White House on Monday to accept the offer, but later clarified that he would not take on the role. The 80-year-old president had initially claimed he was \"only kidding\" about the offer, but later said he was \"devastated\" to hear that White had declined it.",
