WASHINGTON, USA: In an unexpected visit to the White House on Monday, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White declined President Donald Trump’s seemingly amicable offer of a position as press secretary.
On Saturday, Trump shocked everyone by claiming on social media that he had requested White to fill the prominent role. However, the 80-year-old president then clarified that he was “only kidding. On Monday, Trump welcomed the 57-year-old cage-fighting ruler to the White House for a tumultuous press conference in the James Brady Briefing Room.
I’ll ask you the major question now. Do you want to serve as the United States of America’s press secretary? Trump asked, “Or do you just want to stay with this ridiculous UFC?” I am devastated to hear this,” Trump said as he grinned and left the room. Goodbye to all of you.
Since Katie Zacharia resigned the position on October 16 after less than a week, the press secretary position has been empty. After a year and a half, her contentious predecessor, Karoline Leavitt, resigned in August.
After the Republican Party’s unexpected setback in the midterm elections, Trump’s revelation that he had offered the prominent position to “violent Fighter and Warrior” White fuelled rumours that he was prepared for an aggressive posture.
