Trump clarifies Dana White press secretary rumor was a joke

President Donald Trump and UFC CEO Dana White addressed rumors on Monday that White was being considered for the White House press secretary position, with Trump clarifying his recent suggestion was merely a joke. Trump stated he made the comment during a difficult news cycle to a group of reporters, but the media treated it as a serious appointment offer.

White took the podium to shut down speculation about entering government service, stating she has zero political aspirations. She explained that she was at a fight in London when Trump called to inform her of the potential role, describing the last 24 hours as "insane" due to the unexpected attention.

During the briefing, White also discussed a hypothetical UFC cage match between Trump and former President Joe Biden, praising Trump's resilience after he was shot but dismissing the matchup as likely unfavorable. She noted she never explicitly told Trump "no" regarding the press secretary role, leaving the door slightly open while maintaining her focus on the UFC.
