Trump wants martial arts entrepreneur White as press secretary

US President Donald Trump has brought martial arts entrepreneur Dana White into discussion as the next White House spokesman. White received a corresponding offer, Trump wrote on his online platform Truth Social. “Dana, please accept the job,” the president wrote, praising him as a “violent fighter and warrior.”

White rejected the "unorthodox idea," CNN reported, citing an informed person. A little later, the martial arts entrepreneur himself only made a vague statement about it: White said he wanted to meet with Trump on Monday. After that he could say more.

The initial question was whether there was a serious job offer to White or whether the contribution was part of the president's campaign against the Democratic Party, which had clearly won the midterm elections. Because Trump combined his announcement with attacks on the “insane leftists” from whom we had to protect ourselves. White should bring fighters from the UFC martial arts league he runs with him as “assistants”.

The speaker's position in the White House has been vacant for weeks. Katie Zacharia, who was appointed in October, left the post after just a few days. She only gave a short press conference in which she appeared uncertain.

At the same time, speculation is spreading on social networks that there must be a mix-up: In fact, during Trump's first term in office, there was a Pentagon spokeswoman named Dana W. White. Someone from his staff suggested the personnel to Trump, but he thought he meant the UFC boss, according to the wild theory that is causing great amusement online - but for which there is no actual evidence.
