UFC CEO Dana White
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White gave a vague response to President Trump’s press secretary offer over the weekend, telling reporters that he will meet with Trump at the White House today.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump offered White the role, announcing on Truth Social Saturday, “I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States.”
Asked about the President’s offer during a Saturday press conference, White chuckled and said, “I’m flying to Washington, DC, right now.”
He declined to speak about his private conversations with the President, noting again, “We have a meeting on Monday,” and suggesting he’ll speak more afterward.
“I have a meeting on Monday, I’m flying to DC right now, and I’m sure we’ll have something to talk about after that.”

CNN reported over the weekend that White had declined the role, according to a source familiar with the matter. Still, the meeting between Trump and White is still expected today.
Trump went on to say he was just “kidding” when he offered White the job.
“And then people said, ‘you know, that’s actually a pretty good idea,’” he added.
“But I think Dana likes the idea. And he is a very capable guy, so he’s actually coming tomorrow.”
