Former U.S. President Donald Trump said he was "only kidding" about offering UFC CEO Dana White the role of White House press secretary, but White reportedly "loves the idea." The comment came during a recent interaction between the two public figures, sparking discussion across sports and political circles.
Trump, known for his close ties to the mixed martial arts organization, made the remark in a lighthearted manner. White, who has led the UFC since 2001, has not formally responded to the jest, but sources indicate he appreciated the gesture.
The exchange highlights the ongoing relationship between Trump and the UFC leadership, which dates back to the early days of the promotion. While the offer was not serious, it underscores the crossover between sports entertainment and political rhetoric.
