President Donald Trump stirred speculation on Sunday when he suggested that UFC CEO Dana White could be his next White House press secretary. However, Trump later clarified that he was "only kidding" about the idea, which had emerged from a social media post that hinted at a combative strategy as Democrats prepare to take control of Congress.

Dana White, a close friend of Trump and a prominent supporter, has never held a government position, which adds a layer of intrigue to Trump's comments. The suggestion was seen as a playful nod to White's strong personality and public presence, characteristics that Trump may find appealing in a press secretary.S2

Despite the lighthearted nature of the comment, Trump and White are scheduled to meet on Monday, although the topic of White becoming press secretary is not expected to be seriously discussed. The former Apprentice host referred to White as the "Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior," indicating that he values White's fighting spirit, even if the appointment is not on the agenda.S4
