Trump Says He Offered Dana White the White House Press Secretary Job

President Trump says he has offered Dana White the job of White House press secretary. The Hill reported that Trump disclosed the offer in a Truth Social post on Saturday, November 7.

White is president and CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, according to The Hill. The proposal would put the head of a mixed martial arts organisation in the running to become the White House's chief spokesperson.

Trump's November 7 announcement was a public appeal as well as a disclosure of the offer. "Dana, please take the job!" he said, according to BBC News.

Trump also proposed fighters as aides, the New York Post reported. That suggestion extended the announcement beyond White himself to people who might assist him in the role.

According to RT en Español - Noticias, Trump urged White to bring assistants even if some were not from the United States, including mixed martial arts fighters. The supplied reports do not establish that any such assistants have been selected.

The reported offer is not a confirmed appointment. The supplied coverage does not establish that White has accepted or give a date when he would begin work.

BBC News said it had asked the White House and TKO Holdings, UFC's parent company, for comment. Its supplied summary does not include a response from either.

The immediate question is whether White accepts. Responses to the requests reported by BBC News could clarify whether the public appeal will lead to an appointment and how any move would affect his UFC role.
