Trump Says He Offered White House Press Secretary Role to UFC President Dana White
Former President Donald Trump stated he offered the White House press secretary job to UFC President Dana White, with White House officials not immediately confirming the announcement's seriousness.
Shreveport Texarkana, LA, November 7, 2026 — Former President Donald Trump announced that he offered the position of White House press secretary to UFC President Dana White. The announcement was made by Trump, but the seriousness of the offer was not immediately confirmed by White House officials.
Details regarding when the alleged offer was made or the specific context surrounding the statement were not provided. The role of White House press secretary involves briefing the media on behalf of the President and the administration.
Dana White, currently the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has a long-standing public relationship with Donald Trump, often appearing at Trump-owned properties and events. However, there has been no indication that White has accepted such a position or that the offer was formally extended or considered by the White House staff.
White House officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment or confirmation regarding the former President’s statement. The typical process for appointing White House staff, particularly a role as prominent as press secretary, usually involves official vetting and announcement procedures.
The former President has made public statements about potential appointments and personnel in the past. In this instance, the lack of immediate confirmation from current White House representatives leaves the status and substance of the reported offer unclear.
