Former President Donald Trump announced on the Truth Social platform that he has extended an offer to UFC chief Dana White to serve as White House press secretary, describing him as a fighter and warrior.
On Saturday, former U.S. President Donald Trump used his social media outlet Truth Social to publicly offer Dana White, the chief executive of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the position of White House press secretary. The post, which quickly attracted attention, marked an unusual crossover between the world of mixed‑martial‑arts promotion and the political sphere.
Trump praised White as a "fighter and warrior," suggesting that his background in combat sports could bring a fresh perspective to the communications team. In a light‑hearted remark, the former president added that White could even bring some UFC fighters to the White House, underscoring the informal tone of the offer.
As of now, neither the White House nor Dana White has issued an official response. The proposal, if pursued, would represent a rare appointment of a sports executive to a senior political communications role, and analysts are watching closely for any developments.
