Keith Edwards puts two very different job descriptions side by side: running the UFC and answering questions for the White House. His latest commentary follows Donald Trump's public offer of the press secretary role to Dana White, then examines Trump's insistence that he was kidding.
The video passed roughly 830,000 views in nine hours, a much faster start than Edwards's regular uploads usually receive.
In the press conference footage Edwards plays, White laughs about the proposal and points out that his schedule is already full. "Yeah, I got a lot of jobs already," he says. Trump's post also proposed UFC fighters as assistants, bringing the combat-sports connection into the proposed press operation.
Edwards then turns to an alternative explanation: perhaps Trump or his staff meant Dana W. White, the former Pentagon spokesperson. He shows her LinkedIn response acknowledging the apparent confusion and distinguishing her communications career from the octagon. That response does not establish that a mix-up actually happened; it remains the theory Edwards is exploring.
Trump's own explanation appears in footage of him speaking to reporters: "I will tell you, I was only kidding, but Dana loves the idea."
Edwards doesn't accept that account. After including Hasan Piker's reaction and a Morning Joe discussion featuring sports journalist Pablo Torre, he closes with his own emphatic judgment: "I guarantee you, it was not a joke."
