Former President Donald Trump stated that he was "kidding" when he offered the UFC president, Dana White, a role as White House press secretary.
Trump made the initial remarks in a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday. He encouraged White to "please take the job," according to the post. However, Trump later clarified that his offer was not serious. The New York Post reported that Trump said he was "kidding" about the offer during a Saturday rally in North Carolina. He reportedly added that White is a "great guy" but is not suited for the press secretary position.
This clarification came after speculation about White potentially entering politics following his public support for Trump during the 2020 election and his presence at various campaign events.
