President Donald Trump transformed an impromptu press briefing with Dana White, the CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), into a spontaneous job offer on Monday. Trump playfully inquired if White wanted to take on the role of White House press secretary. White declined, expressing his lack of interest in political involvement.
At the conclusion of the briefing, Trump asked, Let me ask you the big question: Dana, would you like to be press secretary of the United States of America?
White responded, Thank you for the offer, sir. I do not want to be involved in politics, no.
The friendly exchange followed Trump’s earlier, public suggestion of White for the position, which he later clarified as a jest. Hours before the joint appearance, Trump shared two AI-generated videos featuring White as the press secretary.
White had confirmed over the weekend that a meeting with Trump was on his schedule for Monday, but he did not reveal the topics they intended to discuss.
