UFC President Dana White reportedly had a private, expletive-laced reaction to Donald Trump's public offer for him to serve as press secretary, according to an insider cited by the Daily Mail.
Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Saturday to announce that he had offered the press secretary position to White, whom he described as a "violent Fighter and Warrior." However, the insider suggested that White may feel compelled to "step up" and accept the role despite his initial negative reaction.
The source indicated that White finds himself in "a very unusual position where the opportunity might simply be too big to turn down."
Trump and White have cultivated a friendship over nearly three decades. White was a vocal supporter of Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign.
The vacancy for press secretary arose after the previous incumbent, Katie Zacharia, resigned in October. The Daily Mail noted that the timing of this offer coincides with a turbulent period for the administration.
