Trump shares Family Guy-style cartoon of Dana White as press secretary with UFC fighters attacking journalists

President Trump has shared a Family Guy-style cartoon depicting Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White as the White House Press Secretary, with fighters attacking journalists.

Trump, who has since insisted he was “only kidding” when he said on Saturday that he asked White to take on the role, has been without a press secretary since Katie Zacharia left her role after just five days.

On Sunday, Trump presented an imagined future depicting White as press secretary in a cartoon video that included brawls in the White House press pool and a widely criticized conspiracy theory about Former First Lady Michelle Obama.

The video was originally shared by an X user named: “@Dr ClownPhD”

“Trump made me press secretary. I brought help,” the cartoon White begins the video, flanked by famous UFC fighters.

Then, a journalist stands up and asks: “Is Trump a threat to democracy?”

In response, the animated White calls on Russian fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, who throws the journalist to the ground and pins him down.

“Let’s talk now,” the cartoon Nurmagomedov says.

“I don’t feel safe,” another journalist, this one tearful, says before White calls on another Russian fighter, Islam Makhachev, to haul him out of the room.

“Two, three years. Dagestan,” he says.

“What are Trump’s pronouns?” a blue-haired journalist with two nose piercings asks, before being seized by two more wrestlers whom the cartoon White asks to save their energy for “next Saturday.”

A cry of “this is fascism” can be heard before another person is kicked to the ground.

When a reporter asks if Michelle Obama is running for president in 2028, an animated Josh Hokit takes the microphone and claims: “Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?”

The real Hokit made that same claim while appearing at the UFC event on the White House lawn held on Trump’s birthday. The remark drew widespread condemnation on social media.

Defending his comment on The Ariel Helwani Show, Hokit said: “Michelle Obama being a man, that’s like, uh, she knows how to deal with adversity, you know, she knows how to work hard like a man.”

After the cartoon Hokit repeats the claim, White can be seen looking over a press room in flames with journalists lying on the floor as stars fly around their heads.

Trump announced that White had been offered the press secretary job via Truth Social on November 7, noting that he had asked him to bring Makhachev, Nurmagomedov and other UFC fighters to “defend us against the Lunatic Left.”

“Dana, please take the job!” Trump added.

In London on Saturday, White told reporters that he had a meeting scheduled with the president on Monday.

On Sunday, though, Trump claimed that he had only been joking when he floated White’s name for the role.

“So I was kidding, but I think Dana likes the idea, and he is a very capable guy,” Trump added. “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.”
