Trump Trolls the Media Again as Dana White Steps to the Podium
President Trump turned a bad press day into pure entertainment by floating UFC boss Dana White as his new press secretary. The media bit hard, writing it up as fact. Then White showed up at the podium anyway.
Kaitlan Collins asked White straight: “Just to confirm, did you tell the president no to the press secretary job?”
White didn’t hesitate. “I don’t tell the president no to anything. No, I didn’t say no. I literally, everybody, every media outlet was calling me and I didn’t want to be disrespectful in saying anything until he said something first.”
Trump stood right there and laid it out. “We were having a very bad press day, and I said, I don’t know why, I thought of his name. He’s been my friend for a long time. I said, you know, I think I’m gonna get Dana White to be my new press secretary. I said it to a group of the press, and that was it.
I was sort of kidding. And then they wrote the stories as though I wasn’t kidding, and you were inundated, and I was inundated, and he was here anyway. We thought we’d have a little fun and we brought Dana here. He would be fantastic.”
