Photo: Openverse - flickrUS President Donald Trump has publicly asked Ultimate Fighting Championship boss Dana White to become the next White House press secretary. Writing on Truth Social, Trump called White a fighter and a warrior, though it remains unclear if the offer is genuine. Trump also suggested that White bring several high-profile mixed martial arts fighters to act as assistants to defend against political opponents, sharing photos of fighters including Russian fighter Islam Makhachev.
Background
The White House press secretary role has faced multiple changes recently following departures and leaves by previous staff members, including Katie Zacharia and Karoline Leavitt. Trump and White share a long-standing friendship, with Trump having hosted UFC events at his New Jersey casino in 2001 when the sport struggled for mainstream acceptance.
Context
The public job offer arrives after Republicans lost their majorities in Congress during midterm elections. Presidents frequently use social media to signal shifts in political strategy or messaging during high-pressure political moments.
