Trump says he was 'only kidding' when he suggested UFC CEO Dana White as White House press secretary.
"I will tell you, I was only kidding. But Dana loves the idea. And there's only one Dana. He's great. I don't know."
"Of course I was kidding. And you could see that because I put all of the great fighters as his assistants, that they're all going to come with him. But, it was it was just a little fun. But Dana is actually coming tomorrow, actually, on other for other reasons. I think he's going to be in Washington. So he's going to come over and see me. That was an example of something where I was kidding. And then people said, you know, that's actually a pretty good idea.''
In Saturday's post, Trump described White as a "violent Fighter and Warrior" and suggested he bring several current or former UFC champions to serve as assistants, saying they were needed to "defend us against the Lunatic Left."
White, who has led the Ultimate Fighting Championship for more than two decades, has been a close Trump ally and helped mobilize support for his 2024 presidential campaign.
He has also appeared alongside Trump at several political events and helped bring UFC fights to the White House lawn this year.
