Trump Says Offer to Make Dana White Press Secretary Was a Joke

“I’ll tell you, I was just kidding,” Trump said, according to The New York Times.

Dana White, who heads the UFC, is an outspoken supporter of the president and has, among other things, organised a UFC event outside the White House earlier this year.

White has declined to comment on the job offer, but sources told CNN that he turned it down. At the same time, both White and Trump have said they will meet at the White House on Monday.

“I’m sure I’ll have more to say after that,” Dana White said this weekend, according to ESPN.
