Why It Matters

Donald Trump has written on his Truth Social platform that he has asked Dana White to take over as White House spokesman and would like to bring along six current or former UFC titleholders as assistants.

Font size

US President Donald Trump has said he has asked martial arts promoter Dana White to take over as White House spokesman. White, the head of the combat sports organization Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), should also bring some fighters with him as assistants, "even if some are not from our country," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Saturday. White is a “violent fighter and warrior.” “We need these people to defend ourselves against the crazy left,” the president said.

Trump wrote that he wanted six current or former UFC titleholders at White's side, including the two athletes Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov from the Russian region of Dagestan. He also named US-born Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier and “Kayla Harris”, which probably meant Kayla Harrison. Trump also cited Brazilian native Amanda Nunes, who received US citizenship last year.
