President Trump on Sunday night said he was kidding about offering Dana White the job of White House Press Secretary.

President Trump on Saturday announced that he offered UFC president Dana White the job of White House Press Secretary.

The White House has been without an official press secretary since October 19, when Katie Zacharia transitioned out of the role.

Karoline Leavitt departed her role as White House Press Secretary at the end of August.

“I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States,” Trump said.

“I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris,” Trump said.

“We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job! President DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said on Truth Social.

Dana White said he will meet with President Trump in the Oval Office on Monday.

Trump told reporters on Sunday that was just kidding about Dana White.

“That was an example of something where I was kidding. And then people said, ‘you know, that’s actually a pretty good idea!'”

“But I think Dana likes the idea. And he is a very capable guy, so he’s actually coming tomorrow,” Trump said.
