Did Trump offer the press secretary job to the wrong Dana White?
Donald Trump made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room Monday night with UFC CEO Dana White. He then stepped aside and let White take questions from reporters.
White told the room he would “always want to do it,” then said he had “zero political ambitions. "He will not take the position. At the end of the briefing, Trump asked him one more time if he would take it or "just stick with this ridiculous UFC. ".
The stunt follows a Saturday post on Social Truth in which Trump offered White the job of "press secretary of the United States. He called White "a fighter and a violent fighter" and suggested UFC fighters come in as helpers "to protect us from the crazy left." "Only on Sunday, after the story broke, did Trump say he was laughing.

The White House has not had a press secretary since Katie Zachariah was fired in October, four days after she started. The briefing was conducted so quickly that the presidential seal was not on the podium. It's the latest in a series of erratic moves since Republicans' heavy losses in the midterms last week.
