UFC’s Dana White appears with Trump at a White House briefing - but won’t be his press secretary

According to The Hill, the visit came after Trump offered White the press secretary position in a Truth Social post over the weekend.[2] The AP reports that Trump's post called White "the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior"[1].The AP reports that White said "I've always wanted to do this,"[1] then asked who had the first question, and then clarified, "I have zero political aspirations."[1] He told reporters: "I was sort of kidding, and then they wrote the story as though I wasn't kidding."[3]White told reporters, according to The Hill, that "the last 24 hours of my life has been insane."[2]The Hill reports that at the end of the briefing, Trump asked White if he would rather "just want to stay with this ridiculous UFC?"[4] NTD reports that White replied, "Thank you for the offer, sir," White said. "No, I do not want to be in politics."[5] According to The Hill, Trump responded, "I am devastated to hear this."[4]The AP reports that the position is open after Trump tried out Katie Zacharia as press secretary, and that she struggled in her only appearance before reporters and left after five days.[1]The AP also reports that the briefing was "so hastily organized"[1] that officials did not have time to put the presidential seal on the lectern.
