Former US President Donald Trump joked that he might name UFC promoter Dana White as his press secretary, sparking a wave of online chatter.
Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, made a tongue‑in‑cheek remark suggesting he could appoint UFC founder Dana White as his White House press secretary. The comment was delivered during a recent public appearance and was clearly framed as a joke rather than an official proposal.
The quip quickly circulated on social media, prompting a flurry of reactions from both political commentators and sports fans. Media outlets highlighted the mix‑up, while the UFC’s communications team issued a brief statement noting that no formal discussions were underway.
Political analysts observed that Trump continues to use humor and surprise statements to dominate headlines, even after leaving office. While the remark generated buzz, it carries no policy implications and does not signal any actual change in White House staffing.
