President Donald Trump offered UFC CEO Dana White the role of White House Press Secretary on Truth Social, stating he should bring 'assistants' including UFC fighters. White appeared to accept the position, posting an Instagram Story with an AI-generated image of himself at the press podium.
Trump later claimed the announcement was a joke, telling reporters, 'I was only kidding,' while a CNN report indicated White had turned down the offer. However, Trump also stated White was scheduled to meet him at the White House the next day.
