Trump says offer to UFC chief was a joke
President Donald Trump suggested UFC chief Dana White for the vacant White House press secretary post after the Republican Party’s loss in the recent midterm elections, The Guardian reported. Earlier, Trump posted on Truth Social that he had offered the role, a comment The Age described as part of his broader rhetorical stance against Democrats following the elections.
The initial announcement, reported by CBC, said White would meet the president on after the offer. Trump later clarified, also reported by The Guardian, that the suggestion was intended as a joke.
