Who Is Dana White? All About The UFC Chief Donald Trump Wants As White House Press Secretary

What's behind this

President Donald Trump publicly offered UFC chief Dana White the position of White House press secretary, even asking him to bring “assistants” that would consist of UFC fighters. While reports said White declined the job, he later announced he was flying to Washington to meet Trump, indicating he would still discuss the offer. Earlier, White shared a possibly AI‑generated image of himself behind the lectern in the White House press briefing room with the caption “On to the next chapter.” The Times of India questioned whether Trump had confused the identity of the intended recipient.
