Trump says UFC President Dana White offered job as White House press secretary

USA TODAY's Short includes an image of Dana White behind the White House briefing podium, but it is a digitally altered picture, not evidence that he has taken the job.

The report follows Donald Trump's Truth Social post saying he offered White the press secretary position and urging him to accept. It also shows White's Instagram post featuring the altered image, captioned "On to the next chapter." Neither White nor the White House had responded to USA TODAY's request for clarification about whether the offer was serious.

White is best known for running the UFC, the mixed martial arts organization. The proposed move would put him in a very different public-facing role: answering reporters' questions on behalf of the president and his administration. USA TODAY notes that Trump often shares satirical material, so the posts do not establish that an appointment is underway.

The Short drew about 35,000 views in its first six hours, running well ahead of the channel's usual pace for that format. Its update ends with the vacancy behind the speculation: Katie Zacharia left the press secretary role after just five days, according to the report.
