Trump offers White House spokesman position to Dana White, martial arts entrepreneur

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said this Saturday that he offered the position of White House spokesman to his friend Dana White, executive director of the UFC, the main mixed martial arts organization in the world, in a message whose tone leaves doubts about the seriousness of the proposal.

“I am pleased to announce that the great Dana White, a relentless fighter and warrior, has been offered the position of Press Secretary of the United States,” he wrote on the Truth Social platform, days after the defeat in the midterm elections.

In his message, Trump explained that he has asked him to bring several fighters to the White House as assistants, even if they are not Americans, such as Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes and Kayla Harris.

"We need these people to defend us from the lunatic left. Dana will be a press secretary like no other. Dana, please take the job!" he said.

The position of White House spokesperson has remained vacant since October 16, when Katie Zacharia was fired just five days after taking office for her poor performance, becoming the person who has served in the position for the shortest time.

Last Tuesday's midterm elections, which were interpreted as a referendum on Trump's management, ended with a resounding victory for the Democratic opposition, which wrested control of both chambers of Congress from the Republicans.
