Trump offer to Dana White

Dadar said:

President Donald Trump offered UFC CEO Dana White the position of White House Press Secretary in a Truth Social post on Saturday, November 7, 2026.

The offer followed the abrupt departure of press secretary Katie Zacharia after only five days. While CNN reported that White declined the offer, the UFC chief stated at a press conference in London that he was flying to Washington, D.C., immediately to meet with Trump on Monday. Trump’s post also requested that White bring six specific UFC fighters—including Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Amanda Nunes—to serve as his "assistants."

• Context: The position had been vacant since October 16, 2026.
• Trump’s Rationale: He described White as a "violent Fighter and Warrior" needed to "defend us against the Lunatic Left."
• Outcome: White has not officially accepted or rejected the role, pending his Monday meeting with the President.

There’s a rumor going around and it really makes a lot of sense. The President’s advisors suggested he hire Dana W. White, a communications strategist/publicist who used to work at the heritage foundation. The President mistakenly thought they meant Dana White of the UFC.

Has a real Four Seasons Landscaping type of feel to it.
