Trump and Dana White Just Broke the Internet

"I got a lot of jobs already," Dana White says when a reporter asks about adding White House press secretary to his responsibilities. What he offers next is a meeting, not an acceptance: "We have a meeting on Monday, so sure we'll have more to talk about after that."

That exchange anchors Benny Johnson's Short, "Trump and Dana White Just Broke the Internet," which drew about 425,000 views in nine hours, an unusually fast start for his Shorts.

Johnson opens with Trump's social-media post and meme proposing White for the job, then plays the UFC chief's response to questions at a press conference. White says he is flying to Washington, D.C., laughs about his existing workload and leaves reporters waiting for more. The exchange does not establish that he has accepted a White House role.

Johnson puts considerable weight on White not denying the possibility. He also describes the loyalty between Trump and White, recalling White's invitations for Trump to attend UFC events during difficult periods.

The final stretch makes Johnson's argument for the choice more directly: he plays a separate clip of White sharply cutting off a reporter. For Johnson, that confrontational press-conference manner is the qualification he wants viewers to notice.
