On Saturday, US President Donald Trump offered the position of White House spokesman to Dana White, CEO of the Mixed Martial Arts Organization (UFC), but the latter rejected the offer, according to CNN, citing an informed source.
Trump said in a post on the social truth platform: "I am pleased to announce that the great Dana White, the warrior and fierce fighter, has been nominated for the position of Speaker of the United States."
The US president continued: "We need these people to protect us from the crazy left. Dana will be an unparalleled White House spokeswoman. Dana, please take the role! " ".
While one of the president's aides said Trump was joking about the suggestion, his post came as he continues to search for a new White House spokesperson, after Carolyn Leavitt left the job, and then Katie Zachariah took over for just 5 days.
