US President Donald Trump has offered UFC CEO Dana White the post of White House press secretary, which has remained vacant for weeks.

Referring to his longtime friend as a “violent Fighter and Warrior,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Saturday that he had asked White to “bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country.”

“We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left,” Trump claimed, listing Russian mixed martial artists Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, current and former US fighters Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, and Kayla Harrison, as well as Brazil’s Amanda Nunes.

“Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other,” Trump stated, although it is unclear whether the offer was serious.

White responded to the proposal by posting an AI-generated clip of himself at the podium in the White House press briefing room on Instagram, with the caption “On to the next chapter.”

Former White House press secretary Katie Zacharia stepped down in mid-October after just five days on the job, the shortest tenure of any White House press secretary in US history. The conservative political commentator had faced widespread criticism over her handling of her debut press briefing, as well as allegations that she had misrepresented herself as a lawyer after she failed to confirm whether she had passed a US bar exam.
